Description
In a writing career that lasted only about a dozen years, Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) helped to pioneer a new form of American fiction, the “hard-boiled” detective story, with novels such as Red Harvest, The Maltese Falcon, and The Thin Man. Grab your trench coat, dust off your fedora, and join us as we pay tribute to the original Thin Man. Author Daniel Stashower explores Hammett’s life and legacy while actor Scott Sedar offers dramatic readings of some of his most celebrated works.
