About this title

Review

""Raymond Chandler Speaking offers us various unpublished pieces. . . and a large number of letters written to his publishers, agents, fellow writers and various friends. . . . Chandler's many admirers will find it a good value. Young writers chiefly concerned with the novel of action and violence should not miss it, for Chandler, at his best a master of this kind of fiction, has much to say that deserves their attention."--J. B. Priestley, "New Statesman
