Stoler and Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade: A Comparison |
|
ABSTRACT |
|
Chapter I - "Spade and Archer"
|
Chapter II - "Death in the Fog""The smooth thickness of his arms, legs, and body, the sag of his big rounded shoulders, made his body like a bear's.""He put on a thin white union-suit, grey socks, black garters, and dark brown shoes...He put on a green-striped white shirt, a soft white collar, a green necktie, the grey suit he had worn that day, a loose tweed overcoat, and a dark grey hat." |
And by the way... |

This is not the actual bird, just a copy....here's something about the actual one. ![]() |
The alleyway near Bush and Stockton Streets in San Francisco, where Miles Archer was killed (oh, that's in the first chapter, so it's no spoiler -- but don't look too closely or it WILL give away the end.) ![]() |
And Stoler got mentioned on Don Herron's famous blog about Hammett's San Francisco! |
It wasn't the first time Stoler had dressed as a character played by Humphrey Bogart...![]() |
