First time. I've seen the movie, ofcourse, but I recently finished Chandlers Marlowe series and wanted something to keep the feeling going. Everyone always recommends Hammett, so thought I'd try it out. Really digging it so far.

It's interesting reading the story and seeing what the Hays Code made them leave out of the famous version of the movie (I haven't seen the 1931 version so I can't vouch for that one).

Also the Flitcraft parable.

Hammett knows how to tell a great story, but his prose is almost unforgivably bad.

Chandler's prose is masterful, but I have a hard time following his stories.

I feel like if you could combine them, you'd get the ideal hard-boiled novelist.

Might I suggest some James M. Cain if you tire of PIs?
