Counterpoint, $35 (1-58243-081-0). 813. Dashiell Hammett, who gave the world five groundbreaking mysteries ( Red Harvest, The Dain Curse, The Maltese Falcon, The Glass Key, and The Thin Man ) in five years, also gave his family, lovers, and colleagues robust and revealing letters, chronicling his personal and writing life, from the end of World War I to just weeks before his death. The floodgates of Hammett’s correspondence were opened in 1996, when Hammett’s daughter (who writes a wonderful introduction of personal reminiscences about her enigmatic father) gave permission for more than 1,000 of Hammett’s letters to be reprinted in full. Many of these are newly discovered (one treasure trove of love letters to Hammett’s wife was found in a garage in Southern California). The letters are organized, with insightful introductions, into sections spanning roughly 10 years, ranging from Hammett’s work as a Pinkerton detective to his boozy Hollywood heyday and his collapse. His voice emerges as funny, truthful, jaunty in the midst of troubles. Reading his letter submitting The Maltese Falcon for approval—“Herewith, an action-detective novel for your consideration”—raises goosebumps, as does his last letter to playwright Lillian Hellmann, Thanksgiving, 1960, in which he celebrates their 30-year relationship: “The love that started on that day was greater than all love anywhere, anytime, and all poetry cannot include it.”

    Extractions: Dashiell Hammett's novels are easy to find, but getting all his short stories is a much tougher job. Two recent collections will give you most of them, and all the best and most popular ones: Crime Stories and Other Writings and Nightmare Town . After that you'll mostly have to go to collections from the 1940s and 1950s. (Some of the early stories were published under pseudonyms, but I'll skip that level of detail here. Check the full bibliography Here is the full text of Hammett's first published short story, "The Parthian Shot" (from Smart Set , October 1922): When the boy was six months old Paulette Key acknowledged that her hopes and efforts had been futile, that the baby was indubitably and irredeemably a replica of its father. She could have endured the physical resemblance, but the duplication of Harold Key's stupid obstinacyunmistakable in the fixity of the child's inarticulate demands for its food, its toyswas too much for Paulette. She knew she could not go on living with two such natures! A year and a half of Harold's domination had not subdued her entirely. She took the little boy to church, had him christened Don, sent him home by his nurse, and boarded a train for the West. Here is the full text of Hammett's second published short story, "Immortality" (from

    Extractions: In his 66 years Hammett lived enough for two lives: the years as a Pinkerton Detective, the heroic struggle with TB, the groundbreaking and successful writer, the socialite, the political activist, the victim of McCarthy and not forgetting the women and the parties and the alcohol. Because the basic detail of his life is so fascinating we certainly recommend a full biography as essential reading. BIRTH AND STUFF Samuel Dashiell Hammett was born on May 27, 1894 in a small town in Maryland, the son of Richard Hammett a farmer and local politician with a reputation for enjoying wine and women - traits which his son would inherit. Around the turn of century Richard Hammett made an injudicious switch of allegiance from Democrat to Republican in an attempt to run for public office, a move so disastrously unpopular that he was forced to sell the farm and leave town. After a short stay in Philadelphia the Hammetts settled in Baltimore where Richard Hammett worked as a sales representative. His mother Annie encouraged his literacy and Samuel became a voracious reader - an activity he pursued throughout his life. By 1908 Richard Hammett was too ill to work and the 14 year old Samuel was forced to leave school to start paid employment. A succession of manual labouring and clerking jobs followed until, in 1915 he took up a position as clerk at the Baltimore office of
