Notes
  • This essay will demonstrate that Chandler, Macdonald, and others are not simply mystery writers. The best writers of detective fiction are also keen social observers who critically examine our culture and our environs. American detective fiction has sent its jaded gumshoes searching through all of Los Angeles and its surrounding environs; and they have returned with trenchant insights regarding social geography, urban processes, and architecture.
