Die Katzenwitwe Eleanor Marlowe arbeitet als Bibliothekarin der Schnurreschen Stadtbücherei in Katzland. Sie ist attraktiv, nett, aber sie lebt - aus gutem Grund - recht zurückgezogen. Dieser Grund offenbart sich (den Lesern), als ihre Nachbarin sie anschwärzt und ihr deshalb die Polizei auf den Pelz rückt: Sie beherbergt eine vielköpfige Mäusefamilie, und das ist verboten. So muss sie, als Katzeninspektor Manx(!) und ein weiterer Polizeikater ihre Wohnung durchsuchen, all ihren Einfallsreichtum ein- und sogar die Mäuse zwischendurch in höchsten Schrecken versetzen, um das Ganze zu einem guten Ende zu bringen. Der amerikanische Autor (vgl. zuletzt BA 12/07) hat sich diese pfiffige, spannende und zu Herzen gehende Geschichte einer ungewöhnlichen Wohngemeinschaft, auch eine Parabel für Courage und Freundschaft, ausgedacht und bis ins Detail originell erzählt. Sein Sohn Devin steuerte dazu (computergeneriert) elegante, fast realistische und gedeckt kolorierte Bilder bei, die sowohl Kinder ansprechen werden wie auch das Buch für erwachsene Katzen- bzw. Mäuseliebhaber interessant macht. Breite Empfehlung.. - Die nette Katze Eleanor Marlowe arbeitet als Bibliothekarin der Schnurreschen Stadtbücherei in Katzland. Doch sie beherbergt verbotenerweise eine Mäusefamilie. Als Katzeninspektor Manx ihre Wohnung durchsucht, wird die Situation sehr schwierig. Ab 5.

A a woman in search of sensation, you should not have come to me. I can tell you tales, but they are not exactly sensational — hardly a detective in them.” “The detective is a slur on any story. He is merely the author’s fool.” “But they are not even love stories of the kind you’re accustomed to.” “Of course not. Here in an Inn of Court you have no opportunities — no conservatory, no ballroom, no garden parties. Gerald proposed to me on the Underground Railway — and deserved to be refused. But he had the grace to apologize.” “Well, I’ll tell you all I know — or nearly. Some very droll things that I could tell would not interest you.” “I don’t mind being startled. You promised not to irritate me by being chivalrous. Chivalry! That subtle grip of the Middle Ages on my sex.” “But a woman — don’t interrupt; I use the word in a superior sense — can never appreciate the fine humor of a tipsy man. She expects him to be obvious: to fall in the gutter, to be towed home by the policeman, or fined for being disorderly. Tales of buoyancy, funny from the man’s point of view, would bore you.” “Humph!” “There are other tales — quite of the feudal period — which Gerald would rather I did not tell. Merry tales, with an undercurrent of sadness: the most perfect form of humor.” “I hope you don’t tax me with immodest prudery.” “I tax your husband. Some of the tales may be rather mad.” “Lunatics are the salt of the earth. Come and dine with us once a week. Tell me a story after dinner — Gerald goes to sleep.” “I must tell them in the Inn or they’d lose their flavor.” “Here! Once a week — that is settled. I’ll come. Marlowe’s Inn is charming. These quiet squares, just off Holborn; these sedate houses, with their old staircases and sets of chambers, each with its stout black door, appeal to me. I like the archway, the porter at the gate. I never saw such a green garden. I love rooks. Everything is gay, cool, monastic; a most fascinating place. And such queer people! I met a man with the face of a mystic — — ” “Probably Guy Blockley, the comedian.” “There was another man with a striped waistcoat, closely cropped hair, and a bulldog jaw. He looked like a prizefighter.” “That’s Paradale, the poet.” “Good Heavens! Then I met a woman, very fat. She carried a pail of dirty water. No doubt she was a political hostess, famous for her parties, or a popular lady novelist.” “She was only a charwoman — laundresses we call them in the Inn. She has probably ‘seen better days.’” “Well — about the tales?” “Sad tales, remember — partly sad. But you’ll get a laugh out of them.” “I prefer sad tales; there is more strength in a sob than in a giggle. Anything, so long as they are not commonplace. So long as the people don’t marry in the last chapter. I’m so sick of sane, respectable people who do exactly what they ought to do. Gerald has a regular income — that blight on originality. I was doomed to middle-class ease from my very cradle.” “I wonder if you really are broad-minded. I wonder! You are not very young — — ” “Nowadays a woman only comes of age at thirty.” “After thirty she is often a prude.” “But I am not so very much after. Why waste time in parrying? Tell me a story at once. Let this be the first sitting.” ***** “It was very stupid of me to clutch your arm like that — to scream. A scream is the admission of small intellect, of nerves, of everything that went out with smelling-bottles. But that noise startled me — it was the prologue to your tale — too realistic. What was it? I think it came from that house across the way, from that open window on the third floor, with the blue window box.” “From No. 7. Yes; of course.” “How somber you look!” “I must go and see what is up. Promise me to keep quite still. Don’t even look out of the window.” “I promise. I’ll look at the album instead. That is a most harmless, a most creditable thing to do. My heart thumps still. Do you think it’s a suicide? I’d like a smelling-bottle, if you had one. But a drop of whisky is the modern substitute. Thank you. And in this little cup. How pretty!” “It belonged to Kinsman. You will hear about him later. Here is the album. There are portraits of Adeline Pray and Minnie Chaytor — women whose acquaintance you’ll make. I won’t be long.” ***** “What was it? Here, take the rest of the whisky; you look as if you wanted it.” “It was Dick Simpson. He’s shot himself. Let me take you out and put you in a hansom. This is our first installment; a melodramatic one.” “Why did he shoot himself? How shocking! Love? There’s a girl going in at the door now.” “Why? You will understand when I tell you about that set of chambers in which he lived. Poor Dick! He’s left a note, just saying that all his accounts are in order. He was in the City; some of the men of Marlowe’s are. The odd thing is — there is always a quip in our tragedies — that he had dressed for the occasion. Frock coat, flower in his buttonhole, new tie — he only bought it last night; showed it to me; asked if I admired the pattern. They’ll never let that set again; it is the most extraordinary thing — that’s the fifth man that I know of, counting Drummond and Jimmy. “He was such a thrifty, cautious little chap, too! No debts, no difficult position. He wasn’t hard up — as most of us are. He lived within his income.” “He seems to have been a commonplace person.” “Poor Dick! Here you are. Where shall I tell the man to drive to?” “To the Circus. Good-by. I’ll come again, about this time this day week. Poor man! How shocking!” FROM THE BOOK

Marlowe is a very ordinary field mouse who wakes up one morning in a Virginia farm burrow, sticks his head out and decides he is tired of being alone. He collects his precious possessions and sets out across the field for the house and ends up under the old dwelling in the dirt and darkness surrounded by spiders he sees as monsters and other rats and mice. Marlowe jumps up onto a subfloor and finds a way into the house through a hole in the floor of the kitchen, behind the stove. He leaves his treasure under the house and enters the kitchen where he meets Miss. Penny the house cat and Smoker the Dog - all mouse haters. He narrowly avoids being eaten by Miss. Penny who knocks herself out chasing Marlowe upstairs and under the bedroom door of Cole, an eleven year old. Marlowe takes refuge in a toy house just his size. He discovers clothes and puts on a doll's suit with a vest, shirt, pants and coat. He also discovers a mirror and takes long looks at himself with his clothes and his new face which includes a huge grin. He finds a soft bed upstairs in the toy house and goes to sleep. Marlowe is wakened the next morning by Cole and mouse meets man and the real story begins. Cole conceals he has a mouse who wears clothes - Cole thinks he is an alien. Cole and the computer and lots of time teach Marlowe to speak and Marlowe names himself from the letters on a book cover that he copies with a 'miniature golf pencil'. Eventually Marlowe is introduced to the household of Louise and Lloyd who take weeks to get over the facts which seem like science fiction. During this time Marlowe discovers a treasure left on the farm by Lloyd's father who never divulged its location. The money earned from the treasure allows the poor family to keep their farm and move to new York City where they buy an upscale apartment and live for over a year until the virus comes. A virus enters California. The virus escapes the cages and confines of medical imprisonment and starts to kill animals at an alarming rate. Cole and his family leave New York in the late of night and by the time they reach their home in Virginia - there is an epidemic. Lloyd realized early in the epidemic he had to build a wall around the Virginia House, barn and land. When the family arrives back at the compound the world around them had changed forever as masses of people and animals died off from the disease. The compound is protected and self-supporting with solar panels, natural gas and a natural water well. The compound has all it needs to survive until Lloyd comes down with the disease at the same time that a protected center in UCLA in California discovers a vaccine. At the end of this screenplay, which is Part One, Cole and Marlowe secretly leave the compound on a journey across the country to save his father Lloyd from certain death. They meet Corrie Anne on their first days out who is also seeking the vaccine for her parents. Cole, Corrie Anne and Marlowe go on the most important journey in history and that is the one to save animal life from extinction, not by guns but by a bug you need a microscope to see.

“[An] exhaustively researched survey of Raymond Chandler’s thorny relationship with Hollywood during the classic period of film noir.” —Alain Silver, film producer and author Raymond Chandler’s seven novels, including The Big Sleep (1939) and The Long Goodbye (1953), with their pessimism and grim realism, had a direct influence on the emergence of film noir. Chandler worked to give his crime novels the flavor of his adopted city, Los Angeles, which was still something of a frontier town, rife with corruption and lawlessness. In addition to novels, Chandler wrote short stories and penned the screenplays for several films, including Double Indemnity (1944) and Strangers on a Train (1951). His work with Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock on these projects was fraught with the difficulties of collaboration between established directors and an author who disliked having to edit his writing on demand. Creatures of Darkness is the first major biocritical study of Chandler in twenty years. Gene Phillips explores Chandler’s unpublished script for Lady in the Lake, examines the process of adaptation of the novel Strangers on a Train, discusses the merits of the unproduced screenplay for Playback, and compares Howard Hawks’s director’s cut of The Big Sleep with the version shown in theaters. Through interviews he conducted with Wilder, Hitchcock, Hawks, and Edward Dmytryk over the past several decades, Phillips provides deeper insight into Chandler’s sometimes difficult personality. Chandler’s wisecracking private eye, Philip Marlowe, has spawned a thousand imitations. Creatures of Darkness lucidly explains the author’s dramatic impact on both the literary and cinematic worlds, demonstrating the immeasurable debt that both detective fiction and the neo-noir films of today owe to Chandler’s stark vision.
