Riwayat Hidup
Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 – March 26, 1959) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter.
Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature.
He is a founder of the hardboiled school of detective fiction, along with Dashiell Hammett, James M.
Cain and other Black Mask writers.
The protagonist of his novels, Philip Marlowe, like Hammett's Sam Spade, is considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective".
