  • The Hero Is Hardboiled
    Page 1 of 3 The Hero Is Hard-Boiled 'The Big Sleep' introduced Philip Marlowe and a new kind of mystery novel By LEONARD CASSUTO August 26, 2006 Raymond Chandler was the rare mystery writer who didn't care whodunit. "The Big Sleep," his first novel, appeared in 1939 and introduced Philip Marlowe, a detective who shows at least as much talent for wisecracks as for sleuthing. Marlowe's weathered dignity set the course of American detective fiction for generations. When Leigh Brackett collaborated on the screenplay for "The Big Sleep" in 1946 with William Faulkner (yes, that William Faulkner), the two found themselves so stymied by the plot turns that they couldn't tell who had murdered the chauffeur. Director Howard Hawks sent Chandler a telegram asking him who knocks the character off. "No idea," Chandler cabled in response. A grimy story involving pornography, drugs, and a particularly nasty hired killer in the employ of organized crime, "The Big Sleep" offers none of the clean, cathartic redemption that typically ended detective stories. "Crusts and fragments of greasy newspaper" litter Chandler's Depression-era Los Angeles, along with used condoms and "oil-scummed water." Marlowe solves the murders, more or less, but the solution doesn't leach the "hidden sadism" (as Chandler later called it) from his surroundings. A sordid mystery with a plot so incoherent that you can't tell who killed whom would not appear destined for classic status. In fact, "The Big Sleep" had a rocky debut. Though issued by the prestigious publisher Alfred A. Knopf, the novel sold a meager 12,500 copies in the U.S.
