Happy Birthday, Raymond Chandler!


Raymond Chandler was born on this date in 1888. He went on to write some of my favorite mystery novels, one of which (The Big Sleep) was later made into one of my favorite movies with Humphrey Bogart. His influence on the mystery field was powerful and is still being felt today.

For more on Chandler, see this excellent tribute at The Rap Sheet.
