War Noir: Raymond Chandler and the Hard-Boiled Detective as Veteran in American Fiction
Sarah Trott
The conflation of the hard-boiled style and war experience has influenced many contemporary crime writers. Yet, earlier writers in the genre, such as Raymond Chandler, remain overlooked when it comes to examining how their war experience affected their writing. Sarah Trott corrects this oversight by examining Chandler alongside the World War I writers of the Lost Generation as well as highlighting a melding of very different styles in Chandler's work.
