Doug:
"And I think tossing Chandler in with Cain just obscures the
differences between the two, the stuff that made them worth
reading in the first place."
I couldn't agree with you more, Doug. Throughout this
discussion, I've been thinking of the difference between
Chandler's work and Dorothy Hughes's In A Lonely Place. Both
are set in the same LA, often described in very similar,
"dark and sinister" ways. But there is something
fundamentally dfferent about them. And, no, it's not just
that Chandler is also hardboiled.
