Opis

Born in Nabraska of Irish Quaker parents, educated at Dulwich College, and in the 'mean streets' of Los Angeles about which he wrote, Raymond Chandler - writer, oil executive, poet, recluse, and charmer - was full of contradictions as his origins. This biography puts Chandler's writing in the context of the crime and corruption in Prohibition LA.
