<< Chandler's first PI character was a Chicago
detective
named Mallory >>
There's a footnote in Raymond Chandler Speaking that he
changed Mallory to Marlowe on the advice of his wife. Good
advice, I think. Mallory sounds effete.
I appreciate the further comments on namelessness. Anyone
have any more?
