September 2004: 75 years of THE MALTESE FALCON
Dashiell Hammett's THE MALTESE FALCON was
published in BLACK MASK in
five installments from September 1929 to January
1930. Now is a great time to
reread it (or read it for the first time, if you
haven't already!) and
see if it holds up, how it's influenced the
genre, and so on.

Having a theme for a month, where people can read any book by
a particular author or in a certain series or on a certain
topic, is easier all around than the old book-of-the-month
readings we'd do. It brings up a lot more discussion on the
list and it doesn't tie everyone to a certain book that may
be hard for them to find. I encourage everyone to read
something related to the theme of the month and mention it on
the list. All the regular RARA-AVIS talk goes on as well, of
course.
