Hey all -
I'm supposed to be leading discussion later this month on
another group
(4_mystery_addicts on yahoogroups), and the book is "Red
Harvest." Can anybody recommend good sources (online or
otherwise) for a crash course on RH and Hammett? Is there a
comprehensive list of films that use the RH motif? (I know
Yojimbo, Fistful of Dollars, and last man standing, are there
others?
Finally, this is probably the earliest HB book I've read and
I was a little surprised to see the first person HB "voice"
(laconic, sarcastic, providing minimal personal info through
direct narration) already pretty well developed. Was this
already a convention by the time Hammett came along, and if
so any good theories about how it developed?
Carrie
