They're all dead, and your brother's dead, too." I have loved Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald passionately since I discovered them in college (although I find it both instructive and a little scary to note that, while Chandler continues to be read and discussed, Macdonald's highly praised Lew Archer novels are now little-known artifacts outside the small circle of livre noir fans), and I think again it was the language of these novels which so fired my imagination it opened a whole new way of seeing, one that appealed fiercely to the heart and mind of the lonely young man I was at that time.
