A Dashiell Hammett Companion - Gale - AD-TEAM - 11-29-2024 pdf | 8.17 MB | English| Isbn:9780313310959 | Author: Robert L. Gale | Year: 2000 Description: Quote:Dashiell Hammett's writing career began with the publication of The Parthian Shot, a tiny short story in The Smart Set in 1922, and virtually ended when he published 3 outstanding stories in Collier's in 1934. During this period, he published 60 short stories, 5 novels-including The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man-a few minor poems, some nonfictional prose, and a series of astute book reviews. Though he lived until 1961, he wrote little after 1934 and suffered from alcoholism, tuberculosis, and other illnesses. His influence on other writers, however, and on movies and television, has survived to this day. This reference work is a comprehensive guide to Hammett's life and works.Category:Biography, Literature, Literary Biography, General & Miscellaneous Biography, Literary Criticism, American Literary Biography, Biography Reference, Literary Reference, Literary Biography - Reference, Mystery & Detective Fiction - Reference, U.S. Literature - Reference, 20th Century American Authors - Literary Biography, Authors, American->20th century->Biography->Encyclopedias |
