Introduction: Special Tribute to
The Maltese Falcon on
The Fedora Chronicles
The Fedora
Chronicles staff is working on a time capsule for "The Maltese Falcon"
with fan memories: what the novel and the movie means to the fans in
2005.
This month the Novel “The
Maltese Falcon” is 75 years old. To commemorate this event we're asking
folks to write short essays on their “Maltese Falcon” memories. No
particular length… and it doesn't just have to be just about the book
or the motion picture staring Humphrey Bogart and directed by John
Huston. Any memory about the story, your personal pursuit of getting a
version of the famous prop, an special memory of an event… even a
speculation about the meanings and the metaphors in the story. We will
even except artwork sent into us… drawings, sketches, and paintings…
sent to us in jpg format.
We would also encourage folks how haven't seen the movie, go out and
get a copy and let us know what you think - Special Reviews from
people just recently introduced to "The Black Bird" and Sam Spade.
Also on this special tribute page to The Fedora Chronicles we want to
host links to groups dedicated to the work of Dashiell Hammett... if
you know any groups that should be added, please let us know.
In the years to come when folks celebrate the "80th Anniversary” (And
85th, 90th… 100th and so on…) we want to have something saved and
archived so folks can come back and see what folks had to say about The
Maltese Falcon in this period in history.
All submissions should be sent to letters@thefedorachronicles.com, each
submission will be posted as they arrive.
Thanks for your interest...
