About This Item
Small, tape-repaired tear on the right side cover. The tape is on the white underside of the front cover, so the tear is not very visible. Otherwise, a tight, clean copy with firm binding.
Synopsis
"The Simple Art of Murder" refers to both a critical essay and a collection of short stories written by hard-boiled detective fiction author Raymond Chandler. The essay was first published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1944. It was reprinted in 1950 by Houghton Mifflin along with eight of Chandler's early stories pre-dating his first novel, The Big Sleep. The essay is considered a seminal piece of literary criticism.
