Bungalows. Crime. Hollywood. Blondes. Vets. Smog. Death.<\/p>\n

This was Raymond Chandler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Los Angeles, which resonated under deft and melancholy fits from his writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bow.<\/p>\n

Join us as we go down the mean streets that shaped his fiction, and that in turn shaped his hard-boiled times, in a four hour tour of downtown, Hollywood and surrounding environs: The Los Angeles Athletic Club, Musso & Frank, the Hotel Van Nuys, Paramount Studio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gates, and much, much more, including a Chandler-themed gelato stop at East Hollywood cult favorite Scoops.<\/p>\n

Through published work, private correspondence, screenplays and film adaptations, we trace Chandler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s search for meaning and his anti-hero Philip Marlowe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s struggle to not be pigeonholed or give anything less than all he has, which lead them both down the rabbit hole of isolation, depression, and drink.<\/p><\/p>\n
