Episode 69: “A Surfeit of Injustice,” or Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye, Part I
The lads kick off this series of Chris' called "Relativistic Noir" with Raymond Chandler's remarkable 1959 The Long Goodbye. Both Chris and Jesse are rendered somewhat slack-jawed at the sheer audacity—and skill—of the prose and of Chandler's ability to build a world so stylized while still remaining plausible. They wonder, though, if maybe there aren't just a few too many similar cops, and couldn't this have used maybe one more editorial pass? The plot is, at points, as ponderous as the sentences are lively.
