OMG, Shaun, why didn't you tell me to put down my tea first? I snorted with laughter at Chandler's Sci-fi riff, he broke my heart with both the editor's cut and recollection of midwifing the death of a loved one, and the cat? Oh, Lord, yes! Any writer with a cat knows THAT look. Please - a book of Chandler's letters? I vote yes! Definitely a Hall of Fame letter writer. Thanks for this!
I’ve got a copy of his selected letters on my desk. It’s a big book considering there’s only a selection. This reading should be compulsory. Great article.
I dont know if I can reply to this address, or if Shaun will get my message anyway.
But I think I love him ha ha ha. Ive never met anyone as passionate about letters as I am. What a joy to share his joy, and gorge on his wealth of resources. I dont have much money but boy if I did, Id buy a big house where we both could live. With an entire wing for the LWHOF.
How the hell did he have the name Google and know that it was supposed to know things? Is there some correlation?

I worry that, with the lack of physical letters we write today, that these gems are going to be nonexistent from today’s authors.
Wow! Thanks for this great post. Chandler has long been a cherished favorite.
These are so good!

Letter to H. N. Swanson, 14 Mar 1953😆
Excellent. I love Chandler.
Thank you for sharing very beautiful pieces of the letters. I couldn’t stop crying to read the title piece.
