Greetings in the new year.
I'm teaching California Literature this semester -- not bad;
this is Ohio -- and I am teaching Maltese Falcon & Big
Sleep. Does anyone have websites
(links?) to essays that either rara-avis writer actually
wrote?
I remember, for instance, Hammett's introduction / preface to
the Falcon popped up. And once upon a time Cal Berkeley
offered an online essay of his on "Writing Style". Can
anybody point me in the right direction?
And is there an online site for "The Simple Art of
Murder"?
Happy New Year to you all!

to wet their hands in blood; but once blood is spilled,
cutting and shooting come easy."
