On at least two occasions, he pursues a lead, finds nothing, and returns to his coffee and his hangover. I won’t spoil the plot, but it doesn’t give away much to reveal that our man Philip Marlowe doesn’t exactly move in a straight line. The Long Goodbye, the 1953 hardboiled detective novel by Raymond Chandler, breaks almost entirely from this formula. Stuff is going to happen, and it’s going to be gritty, and you’re going to like it. Even red herrings seem important right until they don’t. A chance encounter is almost never a coincidence. When a trail goes cold, there’s probably a secret clue somewhere. Plots never stop moving, and every seemingly extraneous detail exists for a reason. On your journey you’ll drink from flasks, resist femmes fatales (or not), and compromise your principles just enough to defeat the city’s darker elements. Detective novels are meant to grab you, kick you in the gut, hoist you up by your cheap lapels, and carry you along riveted as you stagger through the L.A. Summary of A Song of Ice And FireĪ Song of Ice and Fire takes place in Essos and Westeros’ fictional continents, where the seasons stretch and last for years, then end at times you can’t predict. Although the TV series captured lots and lots of details in the book, you can only get all of the actual juicy scenes from reading the book series.

Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. Yet sharing these stories with others, while mixing in historical context and her own fantastical elements, is exactly what author Silvia Moreno-Garcia is doing in her latest novel, Gods of Jade.

Set against a glorious backdrop of celebrity and La Dolce Vita, Andrea Doria's last voyage comes vividly to life in a narrative tightly focused on her passengers – Cary Grant's wife Philadelphia's flamboyant mayor the heiress to the Marshall Field fortune and many brave Italian emigrants – who found themselves plunged into a desperate struggle to survive. Andrea Doria represented the romance of travel, the possibility of new lives in the new world, and the glamour of 1950s art, culture, and life. Now, Greg King and Penny Wilson offer a fresh look at this legendary liner and her tragic fate. Her loss signaled the end of the golden age of ocean liner travel. Audiences witnessed everything that ensued after the unthinkable collision of two modern vessels equipped with radar: perilous hours of uncertainty the heroic rescue of passengers and the final gasp as the pride of the Italian fleet slipped beneath the Atlantic, taking some fifty lives with her. Unlike the tragedy of the Titanic, this sinking played out in real time across radios and televisions, the first disaster of the modern age. In 1956, a stunned world watched as the famous Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria sank after being struck by a Swedish vessel off the coast of Nantucket. Description: In the tradition of Erik Larson's Dead Wake comes The Last Voyage of the Andrea Doria, about the sinking of the glamorous Italian ocean liner, including never-before-seen photos of the wreck today.
