About This Novel
Haruki Murakami's favorite, the outstanding masterpiece of Chandler, the master of the "tough guy" detective style, and the winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel - "The Long Goodbye" is not only Chandler's masterpiece, but also his most influential work. It won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel (1954) and was included in the authoritative "American Library". It is one of the few detective novels in the history of classic literature. It can be said that the author's ambition and self-revelation are fully reflected in the protagonist of this book, the noble detective Marlowe, and arouse extremely strong resonance. The story revolves around a love-murder case that everyone in the upper class of Los Angeles wants to cover up, but Marlowe insists on pursuing it to the end. The underworld, the white lane, the political world and the police are all acting out scenes of entanglement, filth and depravity. As the truth approached, Marlowe realized that from the moment he was involved in this conspiracy, he was saying the longest goodbye to this double betrayal of friendship and love. This edition adds an introduction written by the popular young writer Li Weichang.

The long goodbye
When I see the word "long" used to describe farewell, it seems to be talking about life. Everyone's life is a long farewell, and every emotional life is also a long farewell. When this day comes, we can all say "goodbye" politely.
