The Maltese Falcon (1930) by Dashiell Hammett

from Ear Read This · host Ash Caton

S2E32 Today we've got a classic of the hardboiled detective genre, stuffed with husky dames, fat masterminds, and at the centre of it all a scowling anti-hero, the pleasant blond satan, Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's novel gets us talking about the differences between English and American crime fiction, nomenclature and inevitably, Raymond Chandler. Intro: Humphrey Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon (1941) Outro: 'The Maltese Falcon' by Adolph Deutsch www.patreon.com/earreadthis @earreadthis [email protected] facebook.com/earreadthis
