In this solo episode, Becky takes a close look at the dark and seedy world of the Private Detective and Femme Fatale using Raymond Chandler’s novel, The Big Sleep.

Most of the facts and information about Hard-boiled fiction and Film Noir came from extensive research. The sources I depend on most heavily is Eddie Muller’s 2 seminal and really fun works: Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir and Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir
Raymond Chandler’s influential essay about detective and crime writing: The Simple Art of Murder
The greatest Hard-Boiled novel, and the text of this episode: The Big Sleep
As promised, my Film Noir recommendations:
“Double Indemnity”
“The Maltese Falcon”
“Out of the Past”
“Sunset Boulevard”
“The Big Heat”
