The old men with faces like lost battles

1. PG, your quotes have made me want to read a Chandler book, but I need to know what title is the first in the Marlow series. Do you know? And is that where you’d suggest a newcomer starts?

     Begin by the first novel : The Big Sleep

     • Thank you! I never thought to try Wiki. I was trying to figure it out via searches on Amazon and there were multiple pub dates with the reprints. If I like The Big Sleep, looks like I’ll be buying a lot of books.

       • Marquejaune’s suggestion is probably the most complete in this case but also try:

         which, once set up correctly, will link to the books on the appropriate Amazon site.

         • Thanks. Another good link. I did not picture Chandler looking like he does in the photo.

   • I haven’t read Chandler in, oh, a couple decades. But PG’s amazing snippets have me wanting to dive in again. Damn, that boy could fashion interesting sentences/imagery.

   • Amazing, Mirtika. Thanks for posting the link.
