汉密特的成就是把写作侦探小说变成有趣的事,但有一些人说,汉密特写的根本不是侦探小说,只是恶街无情冷酷的纪事,带着马虎的神秘离奇因素,好像马丁尼酒丢进一棵橄榄。酗酒、嫖妓、好赌、挥金如土的人会是怎样的作家呢?达许·汉密特(Dashiell Hammett)面对自己的写作却是无比严肃,拥有钢铁般的纪律。同行好友雷蒙·钱德勒(RaymondChandler)形容:“他一遍又一遍重写,这只有最好的作家能办到。”1922年10月汉密特拖着贫病之躯写成的短篇小说《临别一枪》(The Parthian Shot)发表,从此开始他一连串改写侦探推理小说文风和内涵的生命之旅,开创了所谓的“硬汉派”(HardboiledSchool,一译“冷硬派”)侦探小说,奠定了他在类型小说史上的先锋地位。法国文豪纪德将他与巴尔扎克媲美,更认为他在美国文坛的地位和福克纳及海明威一样重要。
Hamlet’s achievement is to make writing detective novels interesting, but some people say that the characters that are not written by Hamilton are not detective stories at all, but mercilessly ruthless stories of evil streets with sloppily mysterious bizarre factors, like Martini Threw an olive into the wine. What kind of writer would alcohol, prostitutes, gamblers, and profiteers make? Dashiell Hammett was extremely serious and iron-clad in his writing. Peer friend Raymond Chandler described it as: “He rewrites over and over again, and only the best writers can do it.” “In October 1922, Hamlet dragged a short story written by a poor man The novel ”Parthian Shot“ was published. From there, he began a series of life journey rewriting the style and content of detective reasoning novels, creating the so-called ”Hardboiled School" ) Detective novels, laid him a pioneer in the history of genre novels. Gideon, a French writer, compares him with Balzac, and thinks he is just as important in the American literary world as Faulkner and Hemingway.
