About the Author

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) was an American novelist and short story writer known for his hardboiled detective fiction. Born in Chicago, he moved to England as a teenager and returned to the US in 1912. After a brief career as an oil industry executive, he turned to writing in the 1930s. Chandler's breakthrough came with the novel "The Big Sleep" (1939), featuring his iconic detective Philip Marlowe. He published six more Marlowe novels, including "Farewell, My Lovely" (1940) and "The Long Goodbye" (1953), known for their complex plots, atmospheric settings, and cynical humor. Chandler received critical acclaim for his innovative prose style and psychological insight into his characters. In 1954, he won the Edgar Award for Best Novel for "The Long Goodbye." His works have been widely translated and adapted for film and television, cementing his legacy as one of the masters of detective fiction.
