Chandler can be called the epitome of American Hard-Boiled detective stories.Just as the young American took over the hegemon power from the old British Empire, the tall, handsome, obstinate, unruly and tender private detective, Marlowe, had officially replaced Marlowe portrayed by Chandler replaced Sherlock Holmes and became the most popular detective in the novel and on the screen.To this day, the tough guys who are emerging in all kinds of Hollywood blockbusters are more or less the descendants of Marlowe.However, why do we love tough guy so much?In the 5 essays and many long letters included in this book, Chandler put aside his bandit gang argot and street slang, with which he is very familiar, and presents his "tough guy" idea clearly and thoroughly in front of the reader with rational and objective brushwork and unusually careful logic.No one’s argument is more convincing than that of Chandler.While displaying the charm of the elocutionist, Chandler still reminds us that he is indeed the creator of Marlowe with his habitual cold humors.
