 It’s not just about crime or justice; it’s about friendship, loyalty, and the slow erosion of illusions.

 The Long Goodbye is less a detective novel than a lament. It’s Chandler’s most personal work, his finest and - aptly - the last proper novel he wrote.

La recensione sottolinea come 'The Long Goodbye' sia un noir che va oltre il crimine, esplorando temi di amicizia, lealtà e tradimenti profondamente umani. Philip Marlowe, più maturo e segnato dalla vita, naviga tra storie intrecciate e personaggi complessi. Il romanzo è descritto come un lamento suggestivo, con una narrazione che ricorda il ritmo del jazz. È l’opera più personale e matura di Chandler, un addio definitivo carico di emozione e disillusione. Immergiti nel noir più profondo di Chandler, un viaggio tra amicizia, tradimenti e emozioni intense.
