'I don't know why the hell I write so many letter,' Raymond Chandler once wrote, in a letter. 'I guess my mind is just too active for its own good.'It was also, as Tom Hiney points out in this wonderful new selection from Chandler's correspondence, a result of his peripatetic existence, his intense reclusivity, and his insomniac efforts to keep the night at bay.The Chandler Papers is both an ideal companion to Chandler's work and an intriguing account of the man himself. These are the definitive chronicles of a famous writer and a uniquely fascinating man: Hiney's biographical commentary through the course of the papers illuminates them against the times, places and twists of the strange life of Raymond Chandler.
