Innuendo, ridicule, self-deprecation, sarcasm, this is a very true portrayal of human beings. While Marlowe is sarcastic about the world, he does not escape from it. He integrates into the world with his own unique way of survival. With the image of a tough guy, he hopes to bring a breath of fresh air and positive energy to the gloomy reality. This is also the greatness of the author.

I feel like I still have more to say. The story line is great, with all kinds of unexpected twists and turns. Genre also plays a role, detective suspense can accommodate the greatest magnitude - involving emotions, politics, and police systems. Because he is a detective, the plot is so reversible and full of suspense, which makes the perspective better and different. Moral premise: This series reflects the evil caused by the accumulation of money. Sum up the story in one sentence: a long farewell, with many meanings. Sticking closely to the theme of the story, there are two levels of farewell, and a farewell to find out the truth. Know the truth of the lost form of farewell. It is also the farewell that changes everyone's lives. The story of a detective named Marlowe who was inexplicably involved in the murder of his friend and went through hardships to find out the truth. Detective suspense mystery serious literature
Relatively speaking, this book can make people sober, so wouldn't it be nice to read more of it? Sure enough, Haruki Murakami must take the lead in everything he does, just like he takes the lead in reading a book and then leads a trend.

This book is so good that I would take screenshots of its highlights from time to time. Not only is the plot wonderful, but the descriptions of the characters, emotions, and environment are all very well-written. The author's concise writing style, control of words and expressions, and his infinitely extended imagination describe many ordinary things or objects in a superb and unexpected way without feeling lengthy, which is admirable. While enjoying the wonderful plot, you can also experience the beauty of the text. This novel has won the world! Moreover, the "I" from the first perspective, Philip Marlowe, has an indestructible personality charm, which makes me, the reader, have a desire to hide and spy on him. This is a powerful ability possessed by an author. Regarding the profiling of class, justice, capital, emotion, and gender, Chandler's words are not sharp but hit the heart of the heart. It is indeed a book highly recommended by Haruki Murakami.
I want to read on, I like it very much

I have read the physical book, but I don't think it is as brilliant as Haruki Murakami said. By the way, isn't the toughest tough guy written by Hemingway? 😘
