The work has been adapted twice into film, once in 1946 and again in 1978. The story is set in Los Angeles, California and is noted for its complexity, with many characters double-crossing one another and many secrets being exposed throughout the narrative. The title is a euphemism for death; it refers to a rumination in the final pages of the book about "sleeping the big sleep." In 1999, the book was voted ninety-sixth of Le Monde's "100 Books of the Century". In 2005, it was included in "TIME's List of the 100 Best Novels." 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Marlowe, Philip $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private investigators $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 651 0 $a Los Angeles (Calif.) $v Fiction. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 800 1 $a Chandler, Raymond, $d 1888-1959. $t Philip Marlowe mystery ; $v 1. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12679300?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/csp_9781479403776_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806014028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44D76D66154D11EDB0B9073D48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
