Re. Raymond Chandler

[Nushra MohamedKhan]

Read "The Simple Art of Murder."

IV is another Romance, a quest; another modern knight errant knight,
one of those rare survivors from an age of wondering scholars and
adventure who resist, who refuse to submit to any form of the
establishment's power control system and who must succor the weak and
defend the marginalized histories; this is his chivalric code of
homor. In contrast to the "no one is saved" paranoid betrayal culture
of VL and its fascist manifestations in the Reagan Years, here is an
honor, a loyalty, an integrity culture that, ironically, turns
literature into entertainment and a novelist into an author of
escapest fare.
