Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition blue boards, black spine and gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Judith Freeman; Author Dedication; Raymond Chandler Addresses in Los Angeles and Southern California; Photographic Credits; Acknowledgments; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and map illustrated color front and rear endpapers. First edition, second printing. "Part biography, part detective story, part love story, and part seance, The Long Embrace takes us on Judith Freeman's journey to discover the private Raymond Chandler through the lens of his marriage to a woman eighteen years older than himself, a woman he adored and yet whose every scrap of correspondence he destroyed following her death. Lively, quirky, revealing of both author and subject, this is a welcome addition to any Chandler addict's library." -- Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander. "This elegant, stirring book plumbs a great mystery, one hidden, from even Chandler's many devoted readers, in plain sight. Freeman's book is a meditation on marriage, a persuasive biographical and literary study, and, best of all, one of those rare books, like Nicholson Baker's U and I or Geoff Dyer's Out of Sheer Rage, where one writer's study of another takes the form of a confessional fugue on the writing act itself." -- Jonathan Lethem, author of The FOrtress of Solitude. "Raymond Chandler was one of the most original and enduring crime novelists of the twentieth century. Yet much of his pre-writing life, including his unconventional marriage, has remained shrouded in mystery. In this compelling, wholly original book, Judith Freeman sets out to solve the puzzle of who Chandler was and how he became the writer who would create in Philip Marlowe an icon of American culture. Freeman uncovers vestiges of the Los Angeles that was terrain and inspiration for Chandler's imagination, including the nearly two dozen apartments and houses the Chandlers moved into and out of over the course of two decades. She also uncovers the life of Cissy Pascal, the older, twice-divorced woman Chandler married in 1924, who would play an essential role in how he came to understand not only his female characters -- and Marloew's relation to them -- but himself as well. A revelation of a marriage that was a wellspring of need, illusion, and creativity, The Long Embrace provides us with a more complete picture of Raymond Chandler's life and art than any we have had before." -- from the inner front jacket flap. Carson, Carol Devine (jacket design); Hernandez, Anthony (author photograh) (illustrator).…
