“I’ve not ever been able to think clearly, as other people do, even the simplest thoughts. Everything is always a muddle in my mind. No matter what I try to think about, there’s a fog between me and my thought, and other thoughts get in the way, and I barely catch a glimpse of the thought I want before I lose it, and I have to hunt through the fog and at last find it, only to have the same thing happen again and again and again.” —Dashiell #Hammett, The Dain Curse 1928
Sound like #ADHD?

The funny part about reading stories from the prohibition era, is they almost always are drinking like it isn’t the prohibition era.
Only occasionally does the illegality actually come up. Been reading a collection of early Dashiell Hammett, and it only just dawned on me that the entire collection was written during prohibition.

“We got not another word out of her; and that is the only way in the world to beat the grilling game. The average suspect tries to talk himself out of being arrested; and it doesn't matter how shrewd a man is, or how good a liar, if he'll talk to you, and you play your cards right, you can hook him-can make him help you convict him. But if he won't talk you can't do a thing with him.” —Dashiell #Hammett, Zigzags of Treachery, 1924
Still good advice. When in doubt, shut up.

San Francisco is always billed as Dashiell Hammett's town, but did you know that fellow hard-boiled master Raymond Chandler lived there first?
Check out my little piece on the unexpected experience they had in common during their time in the city on crime fiction blog The Rap Sheet:

Lots of cool stuff entered the public domain this year.
I particularly love Red Harvest and Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.
And Pandora’s Box, another fantastic silent film.
Always worth looking at the list:
