Interview with Raymond Chandler [1 of 4]

[TheSunmanho]

Is his name really pronounced "Charndlar"...I always thought it was pronounced "Chentler"?!

[ManilaSyndicate]

Chandler obviously sounded ill by then. The interview shows the contrast between the British and American personalities: Fleming, self-conscious and boring; Chandler, direct and compelling.

This is how all interviews should be writer interviews writer because they understand how each other thinks. It makes for a more interesting interview. If Raymond chandler was interview today the only questions asked would be lame on celebrities activities and who his is dating!

The Big Sleep is a true classic.

Fantastic! Chandler sounds exactly like I thought he would: a brilliant, cranky, smartass. Two towering giants just shooting the breeze. Sincerely...THANK YOU for posting this. It's like Spanish gold from a deep sea wreck. Cheers!

@gtrrs71 Well stated. Too bad a film, even a short one, of the great author wasn't taken or doesn't survive.

Thank you so much for uploading this interview.

they say chandler wrote like a slumming angel..

and I totally agree. Chandler is probably the best American writer ever.

[jontycampbell]
