The man revealed was troubled by loneliness and desertion from an early ageexperiences that informed his writing as much as they scarred his life. The bleak picture details the collapse of his parents marriage, and the relocation of Chandler and his mother to Ireland, and later London, due to his fathers alcohol-fueled violence. In his 20s, he returned to the United States and he met his one great love, Cissy Pascal, a married woman 18 years his senior. Only during middle age, after his own alcoholism dissolved a lucrative career as an oilman, did Chandler turn to crime fiction, although his success proved bittersweet. His literary obsession, ambition, and suicidal turn after Cissy's death combined to prevent him from living up to the promise of his first novels. This long-awaited biography shadows one of the true literary giants of the 20th century and considers how crime writing was raised to the level of art.
