Shadow of the Falcon

Darkened apartment with shadow of Maltese Falcon projected on window. The furnishings include a desk with typewriter, Tiffany style lamp, alarm clock, and above that, a map of San Francisco on the wall.

“I’ve not ever been able to think clearly, as other people do, even the simplest thoughts. Everything is always a muddle in my mind. No matter what I try to think about, there’s a fog between me and my thought, and other thoughts get in the way, and I barely catch a glimpse of the thought I want before I lose it, and I have to hunt through the fog and at last find it, only to have the same thing happen again and again and again.” —Dashiell #Hammett, The Dain Curse 1928

Got to a section of the Cleansing of Poisonville that is almost certainly edited down in the Red Harvest, and understandably. Beginning of part 3 new agents arrive, and he gives a summary of the first two parts to catch them up. Necessary for a magazine where the reader might not have seen part 1 and 2, but easily glossed over in a novel.

Always interesting to see the evolution of a work.

“So you’re still alive,” she said. “Well, I suppose nothing can be done about it. Come on in.”

—Dashiell Hammett, Crime Wanted: Male or Female (1927)

The funny part about reading stories from the prohibition era, is they almost always are drinking like it isn’t the prohibition era.

Only occasionally does the illegality actually come up. Been reading a collection of early Dashiell Hammett, and it only just dawned on me that the entire collection was written during prohibition.

“We got not another word out of her; and that is the only way in the world to beat the grilling game. The average suspect tries to talk himself out of being arrested; and it doesn't matter how shrewd a man is, or how good a liar, if he'll talk to you, and you play your cards right, you can hook him-can make him help you convict him. But if he won't talk you can't do a thing with him.” —Dashiell #Hammett, Zigzags of Treachery, 1924

Still good advice. When in doubt, shut up.

San Francisco is always billed as Dashiell Hammett's town, but did you know that fellow hard-boiled master Raymond Chandler lived there first?

Check out my little piece on the unexpected experience they had in common during their time in the city on crime fiction blog The Rap Sheet:

Window with the lettering SPADE & ARCHER a la Sam Spade's office door in THE MALTESE FALCON. Outside we see downtown San Francisco by night. Inside on a table by the window are the falcon, a typewriter and a picture of a woman dressed in 1930s clothing. There is also a coat rack with a coat and hat by the window.

Lots of cool stuff entered the public domain this year.

I particularly love Red Harvest and Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.

And Pandora’s Box, another fantastic silent film.

Always worth looking at the list:

Window from the Dashiell Hammett Suite in the Hotel Union Square in San Francisco, the hotel Hammett first stayed in with his wife when he came to town. A black statue of a falcon (the Maltese Falcon), a typewriter and a photo of a woman (likely Lillian Hellman) are on the shelf in front of the window. SPADE and ARCHER is painted in block letters on the glass.

@andrewducker maybe I'll tackle it as a sequel to my unfinished book from last year, The Hundred Acre Noir https://leanpub.com/thehundredacrenoir #eeyore #hammett

Kater und Hündin haben die Nacht überstanden, war hier zum Glück nicht ganz so viel los. Unser Konzept ist ja #BücherstattBöller, also einen besonderen #Neujahrsgruß an das #otherlandberlin und die #Hammett Krimibuchhandlung!

Im Vordergrund ist der Rücken eines grauschwarzgetiegerten Katers zu sehen. Im Hintergrund liegen auf einer grauen Matratze ein schwarzer Kater und eine orange farbene Hündin und schlafen.
