Praise

The city of crime and misdeeds that Chandler describes in his seven novels endlessly wrapped in a tormented chiaroscuro, a stagnant air of nervous cigarette smoke, a profound maelstrom of solitude and mystery, is the same atmosphere you breathe while dipping into Daylight Noir...an intense visual tribute to the noir master that unfolds through...strongly evocative images, constructed of details that subtly convey distress, that contrast the disquietude of shadow and light; geometric compositions that seem to suggest a further, secret truth. The City of Angels has never been so dark.

Catherine Corman took passages from the author's oeuvre that reference various Philip Marlowe landmarks – and paired them with shadowy imagery she shot of those same sights. The high-contrast pictures were all snapped at the brightest moments of the day, the better to connote Chandler's black-and-white moral universe.

It's a gorgeous book.
