In this solo episode, Becky takes a close look at the dark and seedy world of the Private Detective and Femme Fatale using Raymond Chandler’s novel, The Big Sleep. ______ Most of the facts and information about Hard-boiled fiction and Film Noir came from extensive research. The sources I depend on most heavily is Eddie Muller’s 2 seminal and really fun works: Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir and Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir Raymond Chandler’s influential essay about detective and crime writing: The Simple Art of Murder The greatest Hard-Boiled novel, and the text of this episode: The Big Sleep As promised, my Film Noir recommendations: “Double Indemnity” “The Maltese Falcon” “Out of the Past” “Sunset Boulevard” “The Big Heat” Find us on: Instagram @typethiscast Twitter @typethiscast Patreon https://www.patreon.com/typethiscast And by email: typethiscast@gmail.com Music: Matthew Zigenis Sound Wizardry: Joel Miller
