À propos de cet audio
The iconic first novel from crime fiction master Raymond Chandler, featuring Philip Marlowe, the "quintessential urban private eye" (Los Angeles Times).
A dying millionaire hires private eye Philip Marlowe to handle the blackmailer of one of his two troublesome daughters, and Marlowe finds himself involved with more than extortion. Kidnapping, pornography, seduction, and murder are just a few of the complications he gets caught up in.

Nestled in New York’s Hudson Valley is a luxury retreat boasting every amenity: organic meals, personal fitness trainers, daily massages - and all of it for free. In fact, you’re paid big money to stay here - more than you’ve ever dreamed of. The catch?

For someone else.

The year is 1327. Franciscans in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. But his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths that take place in seven days and nights of apocalyptic terror. Brother William turns detective, and a uniquely deft one at that. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon-- all sharpened to a glistening edge by his wry humor and ferocious curiosity.

Why censor the original text?
Let's start by saying that this is a masterwork in crime fiction and the hardboiled detective fiction. Chandler is unparalleled (in my opinion) with setting up a mood so smoky and jazz filled that you feel as though you are walking beside Marlowe throughout his journey.
But it's the censoring of the text that bothers me.
In Chapter 17 we're given the first taste of the word "fu*k", but the performer continously doesn't actually say the word, for some reason. This is a novel that was written in 1939, and a lot of what is said could be considered problematic in this age of enlightenment, but out of everything they chose not to censor; homophobia, misogynistic views, and racial stereotypes (which the performer actually emulates with a stereotypical "black speech pattern", although he's simply reading the written word I suppose...) that a silly word is what gets censored is beyond me.
Performance is great! Scott Brick does a wonderful Marlowe!
The music in-between chapters was an odd choice, but it really grew on me. It simply just made it easier to keep track of how many chapters I had listened to in a sitting. I've read a few reviews stating that that's what turned people off this performance; these people are nuts. The music certainly doesn't hinder the performance, but adds a level of immersion. The music is fitting for the chapters they follow and just adds more mood to the overall performance.
If you have never read something from the great Raymond Chandler, I highly suggest this entry

Excellent but dark
Noir indeed. And very well done... but arguably somewhat too bitter. A bit more uplift would be nice.
