Seller's Description:
Santa Barbara. 1969. McNally & Loftin. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. Introduction by Philip Durham. 189 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Here is the first full-length study dealing with the dynamic writer whose characters-from the Continental Op, that fat, nameless San Francisco sleuth, through private eye Sam Spade and thin man Nick Charles to comic-strip hero Secret Agent X-9-have become part of our national folklore. In creating what Ellery Queen terms ‘the first one hundred percent American. truly native detective story, ' Hammett brilliantly defined the troubled aspects of his age, a period of open criminal warfare, poverty and festering political corruption. A critical, moody, stern, complex man whose personal code of ethics was as unyielding as the fictional code his characters lived by, he laid a hard-boiled veneer over the despair of citizens who were disinherited and disenchanted, and forged an objective prose style which revolutionized the genre. Tracing Dashiell Hammett's violent years as a Pinkerton detective, this book tells how Hammett translated his on-the-job experiences into realistic crime tales for the pages of Black Mask, bringing the gritty argot of the streets into print, honestly portraying thugs, con men, stoolies, cops and professional killers. Fighting lung disease and alcoholism, gambling away hit money in Hollywood, surviving the dark months of a federal prison term as a victim of Congressional witchhunting, Samuel Dashiell Hammett nevertheless emerges as a vital individual, a man who could be bent but not broken. Of particular value to the Hammett reader is an extensive check-list, covering some 250 items by this author: his books, short stories, articles, poetry, reviews, letters and introductions, as well as his work for motion pictures and radio. Additionally, there is a detailed listing of over one hundred items about Hammett and his work, from published books, university journals, magazines and newspapers over the past four decades. inventory #10829.
