Chandler, Raymond: The Big Sleep, LIT v1, 17 March 2010.
Raymond Chandler [1888–1959]
The Big Sleep [1939] From Wikipedia: The Big Sleep (1939) is a crime novel by Raymond Chandler, the first in his acclaimed series about hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe. The work has been adapted twice into film, once in 1946 and again in 1978. The story is noted for its complexity and is heavily influenced by classic Greek tragedy, with many characters double-crossing each other and many secrets being exposed throughout the narrative. The title is a euphemism for death; it refers to a rumination in the book about "sleeping the big sleep", and is not descriptive of the plot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Sleep |
