The Big Sleep


Author: Raymond Chandler
Genre: Detective, Thriller, Hardboiled, Classic
Source: Audiobook
Rated: 5/5
Read: Jan-March 2015

Chandler’s writing is like a slap of crisp, hot breeze on the face, late on a tiring summer’s day – clean, brutal, uncompromising, and unforgettable. Clean, more than anything else. Sparse. Hard. And enough.
You know that this is genre fiction. And while reading it (and I have read only one Chandler earlier), you know that this is literature that is defeating the genre it is part of. You know that this is a classic. You are mesmerized. You are pulled. You carry on. You are carried on.


Raymond Chandler is the writer I want to write like.
