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. Today, the guys examine the themes Dash Hammett tackles and the craft he manipulates so effortlessly through arguably his most recognizable novel: The Maltese Falcon.
