1 Balazs BiroRaymond chandler : Breaking the Norms ofthe Detective GenreMy theory was that readers just thought that they cared aboutnothing but the action; that really although they didn t know it,they cared very little about the action. The thing they reallycared about, and that I care about, was the creation of emotionthrough dialogue and chandler is revered as one of the most influential crime writersin American literature. His novels about private eye Philip Marlowe, theidealistic and lonely defender of Los Angeles of the 1930s and 1940s,broke the Norms of the conventional Detective and mystery story.
at his two first novels: The Big Sleep and Farewell, My Lovely.7 The initial critical reception of The Big Sleep was particularly concerned with Chandler’s plot and structure.
