For his centennial, The Library of America inaugurates its Macdonald edition with four classic novels from the 1950s, all featuring his incomparable protagonist, private investigator Lew Archer. Set against the background of a glittering yet darkly enigmatic Southern California, Macdonald's books are both unsurpassed entertainments and emotionally powerful evocations of an outwardly prosperous, inwardly turbulent America. Macdonald mastered the hard-boiled detective form early on and brought to it a prose style of extraordinary beauty. The four novels collected in the volume reveal him broadening the genre into an intensely personal means of expression, transforming the tragedies and dislocations of his own life into haunting fiction. "My interest," he wrote to his publisher, "is the exploration of lives." 000775614 650_0 $$aArcher, Lew (Fictitious character)$$vFiction. 000775614 650_0 $$aPrivate investigators$$zCalifornia, Southern$$vFiction. 000775614 650_0 $$aDetective and mystery stories, American. 000775614 651_0 $$aCalifornia, Southern$$vFiction. 000775614 655_7 $$aDetective and mystery fiction.$$2lcgft 000775614 7001_ $$aNolan, Tom,$$eeditor. 000775614 70012 $$aMacdonald, Ross,$$d1915-1983.$$tWay some people die. 000775614 74002 $$aWay some people die. 000775614 74002 $$aBarbarous coast. 000775614 74002 $$aDoomsters. 000775614 74002 $$aGalton case. 000775614 830_0 $$aLibrary of America ;$$v264. 000775614 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3525.I486$$iA6$$i2015 000775614 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:775614$$pGLOBAL_SET 000775614 980__ $$aBIB 000775614 980__ $$aBOOK
