Prefaced by the famous Atlantic Monthly essay of the same name, in which he argues the virtues of the hard-boiled detective novel, this collection -- mostly drawn from stories he wrote for the pulps -- demonstrates Chandler's imaginative, entertaining facility with the form.
"Raymond Chandler is a master."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"[Chandler] wrote as if pain hurt and life mattered."
THE NEW YORKER
"Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious."
ROBERT B. PARKER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye."
LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner.... An original.... A great artist."
THE BOSTON BOOK REVIEW
"Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century.... Age does not wither Chandler's prose.... He wrote like an angel."
LITERARY REVIEW
"[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision."
JOYCE CAROL OATES, THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS
"Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence."
ROSS MACDONALD
"Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since."
PAUL AUSTER
"[Chandler]'s the perfect novelist for our times. He takes us into a different world, a world that's like ours, but isn't. "
CAROLYN SEE
"A serious rereading of the Marlowe novels and stories yields more surprises than a rereading of Hemingway."

CHANDLER WARMS UP.......2007-06-24
I have reviewed Raymond Chandler's seven Phillip Marlowe detective classics elsewhere in this space so there is no need to go into detail about his place in the detective genre pantheon. What is interesting in this series of short works is that Chandler is working out the 'formula' for what he expects out of his detectives. Those qualities get worked out in Marlowe and thus takes their place as very good literary work. Even here Chandler exhibits the sparse but functional dialogue that holds the Marlowe series together. If you have never read Chandler in novel or short story form here is your chance. There will be no place for Agatha Christie-type detectives for you after that. For sure.
If nothing else get this book for his essay that gives this work its title. This is his take at the time on the genre's place in the literary pantheon. Now his remarks are the wisdom of the academy. Enough said.
You can't beat Raymond Chandler.......2006-11-13
The thing about Raymond Chandler is his ability to put words together in the most intriguing, descriptive way. His prose is beyond readable -- it's captivating. The first book of his I read was "Farewell, My Lovely." I read a couple of paragraphs and I was simply hooked. The stories themselves are wonderful, but told by a lesser author, they wouldn't be half as good.
The sad thing about Chandler is that he got started rather late in life with his writing and he didn't get that many books written before he died. Today, you can find about eight books, comprising six novels and two collections of short stories. "The Simple Art of Murder" is one of the short story collections.
Chandler's famous fictional detective, Philip Marlowe does not appear in any of the short stories in this book because these are his earlier works. They appeared in magazines and he hadn't dreamt up Marlowe yet. But the stories are so worth reading. One of Chandler's gifts is his ability to describe people, places and the times without being at all boring. The net result is that, while you're reading, you're there, back in the Los Angeles of the 1930's and 40's, experiencing how it used to look, how it once felt, what life there was once like. It's almost intoxicating in its effects.
Those who have read some of the Philip Marlowe novels will find a couple of interesting things. With a little re-working, you'll find a couple of his short stories in the novels as chapters of the larger works.
One of the really interesting things about this particular collection is the opening work, not a story but an essay entitled "The Simple Art of Murder." It's Raymond Chandler's commentary on what it takes to write a good murder mystery and, believe it or not, it's a very interesting read. It's entertaining and insightful, not in the least bit dry, and proof positive that Chandler could really write. The man was truly gifted and not to read him is to missing something excellent indeed.
The phrase "pulp fiction" generally conveys something of lesser quality, trash, in fact. I'll never make that assumption again having read Raymond Chandler, master of the genre. Few authors in any genre have been able to write as well as he did.
I Read It Until the Book Fell Apart.......2006-01-31
I am commenting on the present book not the older 1968 version. Some other people are commenting on the old book.
Before you read all the other comments here, please be clear that this book is not like Chandler's other books. Unfortunately, some other people commenting on this book have not read the book - obviously. This book does not contain his character Philip Marlowe. He might have been in the 1968 version, I do not know. Here we have an essay by Chandler called "The Simple Art of Murder," followed by 8 short stories, each about 40 pages long. In some ways, these are a sampling of Chandler's "other stories." They still involve an LA based private detective, but each leading male protagonist has a different personality.
The great attraction of this book is the essay by Chandler on how he writes, and what he thinks of other writers. After reading the esssay, I immediately ran out and bought Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms." Chandler thought that this book probably has the best prose of 20th century novels. In the essay Chandler tells us about his philosophy to writing crime stories, and he makes comments on other writers from Hemingway to British mystery writer Dorothy Sayers. It is a good essay by Chandler but short.
I have read all 7 Chandler novels plus the short stories "Trouble is My Business." One can make the argument that the present book is perhaps his best work; although, the short story format does not make for an impressive read - as we see for example in "Farewell, My Lovely," or other full novels.
As a Chandler fan I read this introduction four times, and read most other stories twice. "Smart-Aleck Kill" has a very complicated plot compressed into a very short format. I ended up reading it three times before all the characters were clear in my mind. Eventually the binding of this new book came apart. There is no Philip Marlowe, but this is an excellent sample of Chandler's writing skills.
Chandler wrote detective mystery stories, and became famous for seven novels and a number of Hollywood screen plays, mostly about crime and private detectives in the "film noir" genre of Hollywood black and white films, or what is called LA "pulp fiction". Far from being an ordinary writer of cheap crime stories, Chandler became one of America's best writers from the mid 20th century. His fame was of course helped by Bogat and Bacall starring in the film "The Big Sleep" based on Chandler's first novel.
In any case, this is a book that is not to be missed by Chandler fans. It is simply excellent for anyone else.
From the pen of the master........2005-12-10
(Note: This is a review of the 1968 hardcover edition of The Simple Art of Murder published by W.W. Norton & Co. There are major differences between this edition and the Black Lizard paperback depicted above. Most significantly, the 1968 version contains 4 stories the Black Lizard paperback does not.)
The Simple Art of Murder is a collection of author favorites culled from short works of crime fiction by the legendary Raymond Chandler. The title, The Simple Art of Murder, is the same as that of an essay Chandler wrote in 1945. That essay, which can be found in this book, is a distillation of the author's views on the contemporary state of detective fiction, its future and its limitations. Whether you agree or disagree with the conclusions it presents, you will find it highly valuable reading, as it explains why and how Chandler wrote as he did.
All twelve stories (remember, this is the 1968 edition) are good and some are great. Though one of them, Goldfish, takes place mostly in Washington State, they all bring to life the dark, grittiness of Los Angeles' criminal netherworld. Finger Man, Goldfish, Red Wind and Trouble is My Business all feature the legendary private eye Phillip Marlowe. These are the 4 stories missing from the Black Lizard edition.
Nevada Gas differs from the rest of the stories in this collection in that the main character is not an investigator but rather a gambler named Johnny De Ruse. Except for the gentlemanly Walter Gage (Pearls are a Nuisance) all the protagonists of the remaining non-Marlowe stories are very Marlowe-like in personality. In fact, Johnny Dalmas (Smart-Aleck Kill) seems to differ from Phillip Marlowe in name only.
One of the best stories in The Simple Art Murder is Pick-Up on Noon Street. In it, Pete Anglisch, a narcotics detective deep undercover, rescues a vulnerable young woman caught up in a complex blackmail scheme. The captivating Red Wind is also very strongly written.
Just like the Phillip Marlowe novels which brought Chandler his well deserved fame, these hardboiled shorter works are characterized by great dialogue and very effective descriptive passages. Reading this collection gives one an appreciation for the intelligence and craftsmanship Raymond Chandler applied to his writing. Highly recommended.
Short stories without Marlowe.......2005-08-31
This book collects a few of Chandler's short stories together, along with the essay that gives the book its title. The essay reads well, and gives a simple, clear statement of what Chandler dislikes about the murder mystery genre. You can read the details for yourself, but I'll give you a clue: read Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, then one of these stories. The differences fix the problems that Chandler saw in the genre as it existed before him.
Although I like the Philip Marlowe novels, these are short stories (far less than novel length), they star different characters (none of whom are Marlowe), and generally seem weaker than Chandler's novels. They keep the same dark, gritty tone, but one or two overdo the 1940s slang to a nearly impenetrable level. They're all worth reading, though, especially "I'll Be Waiting."

More Stories About Detection.......2006-05-17
The title essay has Raymond Chandler's thoughts on the detective story. Fiction has always tried to be realistic, but tastes change (perceptions of reality). Detective stories often outsell the best-sellers of yesteryear (perhaps because the situations they describe are always current, even if the language and costumes change). Chandler contrasts the writings of Hammett and others to the classic post-WW One fiction (which is usually contained in the houses of the rich and powerful). Chandler lists the problems with A.A. Milne's "The Red House Mystery". They are too contrived, and disregard life in the real world. The realism of Hammett (and others) is how they describe the world that is seldom reported in your daily newspaper, except obliquely ("Zoning Board Adopts Changes"). This essay offers wisdom and an overview of detective stories.
"Pearls Are A Nuisance" reads like a satire on detective stories. Walter represents the classic wealthy detective of English fiction, Henry the hard-boiled detective of American fiction. They try to recover a stolen pearl necklace, which is "Dutch" (slang for fake). But a high ransom tells Walter they are real. Walter recovers the pearls in a surprise ending.
"Spanish Blood" starts with the murder of a political opponent. A detective is assigned to search the murdered man's country cabin - and finds a dead body! Sam finds an informer and speaks to him before he is shot. Sam follows this lead, but winds up captured. Sam's speech leads to more dead bodies, and the case is now closed. The last pages present the shocking surprise ending.
"The King in Yellow" begins with a musician waking up the whole floor in a hotel. The "night clerk" tosses him out; but the musician knows the owner, so Steve is canned. Steve looks up an address, and finds the first body. He meets more people, and finds more bodies. When he returns to the hotel, an old killing is brought up. Following this clue leads to the murderers, and the old scandal that caused them.
"I'll Be Waiting" is about one-night's events at a hotel. A woman checks in and tells the night clerk she's waiting for a visitor. The porter tells Tony that a stranger wants to see him (a warning about another guest). Tony warns this guest, who quickly leaves. But something happens that affects Tony's family.

beyond compare.......2002-07-12
If you like fantasy but find yourself cringing at the formulaic pap constantly churned out by Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony, or the various corporate-authored "series" such as the DragonLance(tm) [stuff]; if you delight in crisp, elegant language artfully juxtaposed with terse colloquialism; if you are tired of Tolkien-cookie-cutter worlds (without being tired of the master himself, of course) then I urge you to read this book. You will not be disappointed. Willey here displays style that successfully melds a lyricism and elegance reminiscent of Jane Austen with the grit, vision, and swirling plots of the late Roger Zelazny. (Nota bene: this book and its successor, The Price of Blood and Honor, are not separate tales -- as often happens, Willey's publisher apparently balked at the size of the proffered manuscript, and required her to split them.) The first 5 chapters can be read online at [URL]-- surely there is no better advertisement for the book itself. My only complaint? She hasn't written anything since finishing Blood and Honor!
If you like endless accounts of who will fight whom..........2002-06-30
This started out great, with developed characters, Prospero and his daughter, and an intriguing and powerful sorcerer. Unfortunately it became an endless exploration of who was on whose side, who was going to fight whom and why, and what the political consequences would be. Characterization is fine, but this is anything but "character driven." It's another exploration of an author's imaginary world. Well-written, but became too boring At about page 100, I skimmed to page 200 - no change, same things going on. I won't finish it.
Not like the first book at all........2000-06-28
Which isn't a bad thing, just don't go into this book thinking it'll be like _The Well-Favored Man._ Willey goes back in time, long before Gwydion was born and Argylle transformed into the beautiful realm it had become in the first book.
The tone is harsher, much more solemn, much more tragic. While I miss Gwydion's first-person viewpoint, Willey has a larger story to tell, and needs a grander canvas on which to paint it.
I supppose this could be read on its own without first reading _Well-Favored Man,_ but readers of the first book will be nodding their heads, seeing the seeds of later conflict and entanglements sown here. It was also gratifying to learn more about the touchstones of this universe only hinted at in the first book.
Wonderfully creative fantasy.......1998-07-03
I wasn't sure that Shakespeare and a fantasy series could mix as well as they did in this book. A great introduction for me to a great series. Excellent characterization, detailed setting, and an exciting plot all make this a must-read.
A Great story and lovely play of words.......1998-06-23
I fine myself reading this book over and over. The characters are all interesting and different from the main stream. But the use of language is the real pleasure here. In a few words much said.

This book has a lot on info on where to find the nutrients you need. Which plants have a lot of calcium of iron and stuff like that. It's not pushy or trying to convince you to become vegan. It's just a very informative book
Truely a Reference Book.......2007-07-15
This was my first book by Vesanto Melina but not my last. I found this book so well done I bought her (also coauthored with Brenda Davis) second book, 'The New Becoming Vegetarian'.
This book is very thorough and well written. As the cotitle states, it is 'The Complete Guide to Adopting a Healthy Plant-Based Diet'.
It is filled with facts, data tables, figures, and general overall guidance. I will be referring to the book often.
I highly recommend the book if you are starting down the path of vegetarianism.
not good.......2007-06-28
i totaly didn't like this book and sold it for a dollar after reading. It gives too much confusing information. If you are new to being vegetarian don't buy this book like i did.
Great book for any new vegan.......2007-06-25
I decided to become vegetarian about 7 months ago. Then a few months back, I figured,if I am going this far, why not just go vegan. So I wanted as much information on the subject as I possibly could. I was very confused on which book to choose, seeing there are tons on this subject. I bought two books, "The vegan sourcebook", and this one. Out of the two this one had much more nutritional information than the other. It has a little on the history, (which the other book was all about), and much more info on nutrition. I would definatly reccomend this book to any vegan just starting out.

A handy encyclopedia of stripped-down, minimalist, no-frills recipes.......2007-08-20
[Note: Originally credited to Ruth Berolzheimer, but has since been republished with no author credit.]
This isn't the sort of book you buy to learn how to cook - you buy it keep on your shelf as a sort of culinary safety net, for those times when you need a recipe for something in a hurry, and you cant find it anywhere else in your home library. Hollendaise sauce ? It's in there. Creamed spinach ? Yes, and don't forget the obligatory sliver of garlic and tiny grating of nutmeg. Buerre Blanc Sauce ? Check. Cream of Asparagus Soup ? No problem. Bisque ? Several, and remember to stop shy of a boil after adding the yolks (or they'll break). It's ALL in there, sans fancy photos. You open the book to find a basic no-frills starting point for any given recipe, and then you explore/experiment/personalize it from there.
Weighing in at a hefty 974 pages, all of it in tiny print too, this encyclopedic tome of basic core-American cuisine is the sort of fall-back omni reference that all serious cooks had on their shelf in the days before on-line databases like 'epicurious' became easily available.
I've given it a thumbs up - not because it's enjoyable or entertaining (hardly), but because it's so useful. It's a bit dated, the instructions are minimalistic, and the few photos that are present are all B&W and not especially helpful, but it's still a good book to have on hand if your cooking styles tend to roam loose and free, and where improvized 'door knock dinners' or 'cupboard special dujour' are a frequent and welcome diversion into culinary improv.
A handy, well dog-eared, fixture atop my fridge.
[Added clarification]:
This is NOT the sort of book one turns to for inspiration. Rather, it's the place you turn when you've forgotten the specifics of how to make something specific, and you need to refresh your memory by briefly consulting an easy-to-search encyclopedia of uber-minimalistic no-frills examples. The kind of stripped down recipes that are analagous to a rusty old VW beetle left up on chocks in a back alleyway.
Case in point: "cream of (insert vegetable here) soup" ... it gives one basic stripped-down ultra-short recipe, and gives 1 sentence variations on adapting it for broccoli, brocciflower, spinach, mushroom, etc. And it does it all in under half a page too. We're taking TERSE ... barely 1 step above microfilm, if you know what I mean.
Incidentally, when I first bought this book, I kept thinking that the title "Culinary Arts Institute ..." (CAI) meant that the book published by the "Culinary Institute of America" (CIA). There is no such connection.
This book should be required reading for anyone who owns a kitchen!.......2007-07-28
I actually own a first edition copy of this book - when my grandmother passed away it was the one thing I asked for - and it is a wonderful tool for anyone who's ever boiled water. The recipes are VERY MUCH reflective of the time of it's original printing... piped mashed potatoes and hotdogs are used as "delectable garnishes worthy of your most important company and finest dinner parties". But this book has the ultimate collection of true, home-cooked foods as well as a fantastic knowledge base of methods and the science behind the art of cooking. It's right up there with the Joy of Cooking as something that everyone who owns an oven should have.
culinary arts institute encyclopedia cook book .......2007-04-03
This is the perfect cook book for the beginner cook. The recepies are easy to do and the instructions are complete. I would recomend this book to everyone who likes cook, or anyone to learn to cook.
excellent "all you need to know" cookbook.......2007-02-07
it's one of those cookbooks that every kitchen should have. besides tons of recipes for just about anything imaginable, it has a lot of tips and hints and detailed explanations. the recipes are easy to follow and turn out the way you expect them. you will find the more basic recipes as well as fancy ones. it covers a lot of ground and if you are a novice in the kitchen, get it. it will explain measurements, food categories, preserving foods, etc. even if your "kitchen-challenged" you will be able to cook a complete meal with this book.
Preserving American Culture through Cooking and Homemaking.......2006-12-14
My wife and I use this book regularly. We appreciate how this book was written in a way that helps the reader see the high calling of a homemaker. Homemaking was once an art and privilege. You will not find many foreign-sounding dishes in this volume. You will however find recipes, table settings, serving instructions, and calendared menus that once made the American home and table a place of warmth and security. This book will thrill those who wish to return to the days that our parents and grand parents enjoyed. No microwave or "two minute" recipes here. Plan to make dinner a memorable family affair.
