I’m pleased to say that Raymond Chandler: A Mysterious Something In The Light is to be published in America in Autumn 2013 by Chicago Review Press. They’re a wonderful publisher and I’m very excited to be working with them. It also gives me a chance to add a couple of recent discoveries to the book too.
Dear Tom Williams–My name is Owen HIll. I read and deeply enjoyed your Chandler Bio. I do some reviewing and, hopefully, I’ll get to write something about it when the US edition comes out. I’m also one of three annotators who will be working on a new annotated edition of The Big Sleep that Random House is planning. I would love the chance to ask you a few questions when the project gets going (contracts are pending but it seems the deal is done). All I can offer in return is an acknowledgement when the book comes out. But since I consider your bio the best I would like for us to be in touch. All best and thanks, Owen
