Book: The Annotated Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
A masterpiece of noir, Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep helped to define a genre. Today it remains one of the most celebrated and stylish novels of the twentieth century. This comprehensive, annotated edition offers a fascinating look behind the scenes of the novel, bringing the gritty and seductive world of Chandler’s iconic private eye Philip Marlowe to life. The Annotated Big Sleep solidifies the novel’s position as one of the great works of American fiction and will surprise and enthrall Chandler’s biggest fans.
Film: The Big Sleep (1946) Dir. Howard Hawks
Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a wealthy family. Before the complex case is over, he’s seen murder, blackmail–and what might be love.
Private screening and discussion will take place at Sidewalk Cinema November 19th at 7:00pm.
