I hear that Whitfield and Hammett were drinking buddies, and
had some good times sitting around talking about how it ought
to be written.
It's interesting how a lot of these guys rubbed shoulders. I
read an excerpt from something by Lillian Hellman and
Dashiell and her were staying in a hotel for free or cheap
because Nathanael West was running the place. She commented
that she had been reading the manuscript for West's first
book. I can't think of the title. Something with "Bilbo" in
it?
