I’ve been a
Dashiell Hammett aficionado since I was a teenager.
I’ve read
nearly all of his published work, including The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, and his other classic crime fiction. And I’ve covered collections of his novels
and short stories in my On Crime column for the Washington Times.
The Library of America, the publisher of a double set of his work, offers a piece on the advice Hammett gave detective story writers.
You can read the piece via the below link:
