Publisher's Synopsis
I'm an avid consumer of hardboiled fiction - the pulpier, the better. As an enthusiast of this genre, I especially enjoy Raymond Chandler's run of stories featuring the quintessential world-weary gumshoe, Philip Marlowe - The Big Sleep, in particular. The following is an interesting story about that story, which I hope will shed some light on my overall approach to this project, and what I had hoped to accomplish in completing it.
