The Mystery of Raymond Chandler

Delve into the lives of novelist Raymond Chandler and his beloved wife Cissy, with Judith Freeman, former lecturer in the Master of Professional Writing Program at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

In this video, Freeman takes us to two houses that marked important turning points for Chandler.

Described as part biography, part detective story, part love story and part séance, Freeman's "The Long Embrace" is an engaging novel about the life and love of perhaps the foremost chronicler of the City of Angels.

The USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences is the academic core of the University of Southern California, located in the heart of Los Angeles. Learn more: https://dornsife.usc.edu/
