Episode 30: Dialogue Code-switching and the Maltese Falcon


Listen Later

There are few things that are truly American. Blues, Jazz, McCarthyism, and the hard-boiled detective novel define 20th Century America, all born and evolving out of the Great Depression and the South and exploding globally. One of the defining figures of literature at that time, Dashiell Hammett, gave us the paragon of detective fiction and serves as an iconic figure of this era.
