  • 2019 © Carl Malmgren Talked to Death
    Talked to Death: Show and Tell in Raymond Chandler and John D. MacDonald Carl Malmgren University of New Orleans, United States Abstract Confronted with the gradual erosion of the once-stable signs of the Story—plot, character, motivation, and truth—Raymond Chandler turns to the other main component of narrative, Discourse, to discover a reliable ground, and finds it in the act of narration itself, the enunciation of the speaking subject. In Chandler’s fiction the detective’s defiant Discourse finally masters the world’s sad Story. As a rule, Marlowe’s enunciation sticks to and rehearses the basic facts of the story. Marlowe does from time to time engage in personal commentary, statements that make reference to his opinions concerning the characters or events of the fictional world, but he very rarely resorts to ideological commentary, sweeping statements about the culture or society he traverses. He shows readers his world; he does not tell them about it. In The Long Goodbye, however, he begins to badger the reader, indulging in ideological commentaries that convert his comments into lectures. In the Travis McGee novels, John D. MacDonald continues this practice, allowing McGee to assume the magisterial privilege of telling readers any number of things, in effect talking them to death. This essay focuses on Chandler’s The Long Goodbye and MacDonald’s A Deadly Shade of Gold to discuss the line of filiation between the two authors. * 1. Story and Discourse in Raymond Chandler “Yes, . I talk too much. Lonely men always talk too much. Either that or they don’t talk at all.” Philip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler’s The Little Sister (8) At the beginning of chapter eight in The High Window, Philip Marlowe’s narration takes a curious and unprecedented turn.

  • Uncle Dave's Books of the Big Outside
    September 2007 Edition Uncle Dave’s Books of the Big Outside [Under construction] I am weary of civilization’s madness and I yearn for the harmonious gladness of the woods and of the streams. I am tired of your piles of buildings and I ache from your iron streets. I feel jailed in your greatest cities and I long for the unharnessed freedom of the big outside. --Will Dilg, founder of the Izaak Walton League, ca 1925 I've often argued that real understanding is out there—in the Big Outside, in the great loneliness; that wisdom is more likely to be found listening to goose music or watching the flow of a river than in books or classrooms. I believe that individuals can have direct and personal relationships to the natural world, to Aldo Leopold's “wild things,” and need no go-betweens. Nevertheless, there are insightful and wise people who are able to eloquently articulate the wisdom from the wild, or who can draw profound lessons from human history that are in harmony with such wild wisdom. The books they have given us are a priceless resource for defenders of things natural. I have become worried lately that many new conservationists, including some who work for conservation groups, do not read nearly enough. Without becoming familiar with classic conservation books, conservationists do not know the lore of our family; moreover, they can get their facts confused or just plain wrong when they speak in public or write articles. I don’t mean this as a put-down of folks who work their hearts out for the wild; it is a cold, hard fact of our overworked conservation community.

  • Gold Macdonald for Travis Mcgee's Creator, the Writing Business Was No Mystery
    Page 1 of 2 Gold MacDonald For Travis McGee's creator, the writing business was no mystery By LEONARD CASSUTO October 22, 2005; Page P11 As Americans debate their retirement options, they should look to the example of private investigator Travis McGee. The immortal creation of crime novelist John D. MacDonald, McGee would "retire" after each payday until the money ran out, on the theory that it's better to enjoy your golden years in installments while you're young. It's been 20 years since MacDonald, who died in 1986 at the age of 70, wrote the last of his 21 Travis McGee novels. But the books all remain in print and, what's more, eminently relevant. Musing on global problems while solving local ones, McGee was a meditative action hero who offered opinions on war, drugs, race relations, corruption, and other issues of both yesterday and today. The prescient social vision of the McGee series continues to shape contemporary crime fiction. McGee lives aboard a houseboat called The Busted Flush in a bohemian dockside community in Fort Lauderdale. He drives a Rolls Royce that has been converted into a pickup truck, drinks Plymouth gin, and loves women, lots of them. McGee describes himself as a "salvage consultant," not a professional private detective (he keeps half of what he recovers). He takes jobs on spec or, more often, to do favors for his friends. But these ventures quickly turn into conflicts with ruthlessly corrupt businessmen and sadistic killers. The criminals in the McGee novels remain startlingly current. Through his repeated explorations of murderers who love meanness and cruelty for their own sake, MacDonald outlined the character type of the modern fictional serial killer.

    Nightmare in Pink Travis McGee, #2 by John Dann MacDonald, 1916-1986 Published: 1964 J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Introduction by Lee Child & Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 14 * * * * * Nightmare in Pink is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. J J J J J I I I I I Introduction by Lee Child Suspense fiction trades on surprising and unexpected twists. Like this one: A boy named John Dann MacDonald was born in 1916 in Sharon, Pennsylvania, into the kind of quiet and comfortable middle-class prosperity that became common in America forty or fifty years later but which was still relatively rare early in the century. Sharon was a satellite town near Pittsburgh, dominated by precision metalworking, and John’s father was a mild-mannered and upstanding citizen with secure and prestigious salaried employment as a senior financial executive with a local manufacturer. Young John was called Jack as a child, and wore sailor suits, and grew up in a substantial suburban house on a tree-lined block. He read books, played with his dog, and teased his little sister and his cousin. When he was eighteen, his father funded a long European grand tour for him, advising him by letter “to make the best of it… to eat and function regularly… to be sure and attend a religious service at least once on each Sunday… to keep a record of your expenditures as a training for your college days.” Safely returned, young Jack went on to two decent East Coast schools, and married a fellow student, and went to Harvard for an MBA, and volunteered for the army in 1940, and finished World War II as a lieutenant colonel, after thoroughly satisfactory service as a serious, earnest, bespectacled, rear-echelon staff officer.

Not The Best T. McGee, But Better Than I RememberedBy Paige TurnerI set out last year to reread all the John D. McDonald Travis McGee novels in order. (Highly recommended to new readers or old friends who'd like to see Travis again.) I had been a big fan since the late 1960s. The one book I had serious misgivings about was The Green Ripper, and I didn't look forward to rereading it. My misgivings were: 1. In most of the books, Travis (knight errant, slightly bemused observer of human foibles, angry foe of rapacious greed, fierce and tough adversary) ventured to recover things wrongly taken from innocent people. This book, though, has Travis seeking personal vengeance against a large number of people, most of whom, while detestable, were not directly at fault for his loss. 2. The climax was overly bloody, and Travis lost his ethical and moral footing.
