It also reflects on critical reception and shifts in how achievements are recognized.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-simple-art-of-murder-pocket-book-edition-1st-printing-introduction/422321/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-simple-art-of-murder-pocket-book-edition-1st-printing-introduction/422321.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Marglet","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What does Chandler suggest is the origin of the pulp mystery story’s change in tone?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"He proposes that the genre’s evolution can be traced by examining pulp detective magazines from the late twenties and early thirties, observing how the stories shed refined good manners and became more “native.”","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What does Chandler say the emotional basis of the standard detective story is?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"He states that its emotional foundation was that “murder will out and justice will be done.”",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How does Chandler compare the Black Mask type of story to the standard detective story?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"He contrasts them by saying Black Mask style makes the scene outrank the plot, where a good plot is one that produces good scenes and the ideal mystery can still be read even if the ending is missing.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},422321,1790804864,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":140,"language":141,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":142,"faqs":143,"seo_title":144,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":145,"read_time":146},2336477982702,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","动  \nThe  \nComplete  \nBook  \nPOCKET  \nB00KS  \nJNC.  \nRAYMOND CHANDLERthe simple antof murdeP    \n10000  \n# THE SEAMY SIDE OF LIFE...\n\nAs Raymond Chandler puts it,thesetough tales are“of a world in which gang-sters can rule nations and almost rule cities,in which hotels and apartment houses andcelebrated restaurants are owned by menwho made their money out of brothels,inwhich a screen star can be the finger manfor a mob,and the nice man down the hallis a boss of the numbers racket;a worldwhere no man can walk down a dark streetin safety because law and order are thingswetalk about butrefrain from practising.”*  \nThis is not a fragrant world,but it is aworld which surrounds us all.And it takesRaymond Chandler to describe it in all itsgrim brutality and ruthlessness.  \nThe Simple Art of Murder was originallypublished by Houghton Miflin Company.  \n*From the author's essay,THE SIMPLE ARTOF MURDER.  \nOther books by Raymond Chandler  \nThe Big SleepFarewell,My LovelyThe Lady in the LakeThe Little SisterThe Long GoodbyePlaybackTrouble is My Business  \nPublished by Pocket Books,Inc.  \nAre there paperbound books you wantbut cannot find at your retail stores?
