I’m reading an anthology of 4 novels by Raymond Chandler. This is new to me, and his Philip Marlowe character is hilariously politically incorrect. My copy was obtained used and is stamped as having been removed from circulation at one of our local high schools’ library.
This is very historically interesting too. In 1939, he mentioned a character with a Hitler moustache, and a wall calendar with a photo of “The Quints”.
Plus, theres a lot of smokin’ and drinkin’ and womanizin’.
