Raymond Chandler

MR. CHANDLER is a very clever word prosodist.  His characters of the 40s leap off the page and get us excited.  His work of characterization in 'The Big Sleep' and 'The Long Goodbye' is so very strong.  His style reminds one of listening to early Charlie Parker.  There is such a zing to the powerful prose of R. Chandler.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
