MARCH BOOK
Our book for March is The Big Sleep (wikilink), by Raymond Chandler, considered by many to be the doyen of hard-boiled detective/noir fiction. The novel was filmed twice, first with Humphrey Bogart in the starring role followed by Robert Mitchum. Join the bantering bookworms for another lively evening on Tuesday, March 11 at our Zawa (link) meeting spot. Festivities commence at 7pm as per usual. Newcomers always welcome.
A dying millionaire hires private eye Philip Marlowe to handle the blackmailer of one of his two troublesome daughters, and Marlowe finds himself involved with more than extortion. Kidnapping, pornography, seduction, and murder are just a few of the complications he gets caught up in.
