If you want to practise your German, hop over to Culturmag for an article on the fiftieth anniversary of Hammett’s death by Peter Münder — if you’ve got no German worth speaking of, hit the translate button and it’ll spin into the American idiom for you. The piece includes cameos by Raymond Chandler, me and the Hammett tour, and a YouTube bit about Hammett’s life philosophy. And longtime vistors to this website may recall Peter’s much longer article on Hammett from 2006.
