The Raymond Chandler PapersRead about another book on the list.
edited by Frank McShane and Tom Hiney
Chandler’s biographers Tom Hiney and Frank MacShane present this enlightening collection of the author’s correspondence and hitherto unpublished works of nonfiction. From a visceral account of the young Raymond’s experiences in WWI combat, to an unfinished profile of Mafia boss Lucky Luciano, these unique documents provide an eye-opening back story to Chandler’s wholly original fiction.
