Philip Marlowe is a detective because that's what he is. Nothing to be done about it. If a lot of things about it aren't totally clear, well, since when has anything ever been? Somebody's childhood, maybe. Not mine.
I <3 Philip Marlowe. I mean, realistically, he slaps people around too much for my taste, but in this business, it's hard to be good, or kind, or effective. Sometimes you find yourself in a dark wood and just have to keep going. Sometimes you find yourself in a dark wood every day of your life.
(There's a great moment in The Long Goodbye where Marlowe describes how people from out of town react the first time the smog hits them. What the hell is this? Is something poisonous on fire? Should we call Environmental Protection?? SORRY, BUDDY, THAT'S JUST WHAT WE BREATHE).
Ugh, I'm only on Chapter 2 of Possession but I already feel way too bad for Val. Maybe I'll get over it? :( We'll see! I didn't get the chance to start until late last night, but hopefully I'll have some time at work today.
