Take a deep dive into the classics in this series of six masterclasses from Writing Magazine’s technical guru James McCreet, encouraging you to read like a writer.

Each of these digital exclusives explores a renowned novel to understand the storytelling techniques and style, and how you might apply them to your own work.

Illustrated by examples from the text, this guide takes a detailed look at style, technique, structure, characters and more of Raymond Chandler’s noir classic, and considers whether genre fiction and literature are really any different.
