Hammett's Moral Vision by George Thompson
Previously only available serialized over seven issues of The Armchair Detective magazine, this examination is the single most influential book-length analysis of Dashiell Hammett's novels. Spanning all sections of his career, the book discusses five novels: The Dain Curse, The Glass Key, The Maltese Falcon, Red Harvest, and The Thin Man. Detailed analysis shows how the author and his work changed over time. Each novel is discussed in its own chapter with comparative criticism, and there is a list of resources for further reading and research. Additionally, this compiled text includes a new chapter in which the author discusses the impact Hammett has had on his own life.Before his death in 2011, George J. Thompson, PH.D., was the president and founder of the Verbal Judo Institute. When he was a police officer on an urban beat, he devised and crash-tested verbal judo. He is a former English professor and a black-belt master of karate.
