Hammett: 1961-2011

Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of Dashiell Hammett’s death, and as far as I can tell, his literary legacy is stronger than ever. As a token of recognition from Hammett Tour Central, we honor the occasion with a new incarnation of the website, featuring a revamped look and an all-new blog — while retaining for the historical record the News posts of the last few years, as well as some of the usual featured essays and interviews — with more to come.
