Ques:Information:  - Philip Marlowe is a fictional character created by Raymond Chandler. Marlowe first appeared under that name in "The Big Sleep", published in 1939.

The essay was first published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1944 . The magazine article appeared in the Saturday Review of Literature , April 15 , 1950 . The article , somewhat rewritten , served to introduce the collection The Simple Art of Murder , 1950 ( Houghton Mifflin Co. ) , of eight of Chandler 's early stories pre-dating his first novel , The Big Sleep . The essay is considered a seminal piece of literary criticism . Although Chandler 's primary topic is the art ( and failings ) of detective fiction , he touches on general literature and modern society as well . The opening statement -- `` Fiction in any form has always intended to be realistic '' -- places Chandler in a lineage with earlier American Realists , in particular Mark Twain and his critique of James Fenimore Cooper , `` Fenimore Cooper 's Literary Offenses '' . Chandler dissects A. A. Milne 's The Red House Mystery much as Twain tears apart Cooper 's The Deerslayer , namely by revealing what is ignored , brushed over , and unrealistic . `` If the situation is false , '' Chandler writes , `` you can not even accept it as a light novel , for there is no story for the light novel to be about . '' He expands his criticism to the bulk of detective fiction , especially of the English variety which he complains is preoccupied with `` hand - wrought dueling pistols , curare and tropical fish . '' In addition to Milne , Chandler confronts Dame Agatha Christie , Dorothy Sayers , Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , E. C. Bentley , and Freeman Wills Crofts . `` The English may not always be the best writers in the world , but they are incomparably the best dull writers . '' Chandler 's critique of the `` classic '' Golden Age detective story goes beyond a lack of realistic characters and plot ; Chandler complains about contrivances and formulas and an inability to move beyond them .
