经典的黑色小说。私家侦探 Sam Spade 受雇寻找一件贵重、镶满宝石的猎鹰形古董。Sam Spade 受芬芳迷人的 Miss Wonderley 之托，去寻找与一个名叫 Floyd Thursby 的无赖私奔的妹妹。然而 Miss Wonderley 实际上是美丽而阴险的 Brigid O'Shaughnessy；当 Spade 的搭档 Miles Archer 在追踪 Thursby 时中枪身亡，Spade 发现自己既是猎人又是猎物：在 Fat Man 找到他之前，他能否追踪到那尊值得为之杀戮的镶宝之鸟？

……这份书单里收录了他的书，让我觉得其他我原本绝不会考虑的书也值得一看了……即便你提了 Chandler 就不能落下 Hammett。读 Hammett 的书绝对不会踩雷，我大概会选《马耳他之鹰》（The Maltese Falcon）。绝对的经典。当然，有些书我个人恨不得用 Bradbury 式手段（指焚书）处理掉……《麦田里的守望者》和《在路上》是我以前很期待去读的两本书（因为母语不是英语……
…of his books in this lists validates other books I'd never consider... Even though you can't have a Chandler and don't have a Hammett. You can't go wrong with a book by Hammett, I'd probably pick The Maltese Falcon. A classic. Of course, there are some books that I'd personally treat to a Bradbury process... Catcher in the Rye and On the Road are two books I was looking forward to reading (not being English-based…
这是一个很迷人的话题。对于这个主题的处理，我推荐保罗·奥斯特的小说《神谕之夜》（Oracle Night）。《神谕之夜》的核心引用了达希尔·汉密特《马耳他之鹰》里的一小段话，全文转载在这里：http://www.fallingbeam.org/beam.htm。这个戏中戏中戏讲的是一个叫 Flitcraft 的男人，有一天他在去吃午饭的路上，一根建筑横梁……
This is a fascinating subject. I recommend the novel "Oracle Night" by Paul Auster for its treatment of this topic. At the core of "Oracle Night" is a short passage from Dashiell Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon," reproduced in full here: http://www.fallingbeam.org/beam.htm. This story within a story within a story is about a man named Flitcraft who is walking to lunch one day when a beam from a construction…
Hammett 的《马耳他之鹰》（Maltese Falcon）
Maltese Falcon by Hammett
嗯。读读《大眠》（The Big Sleep）或《马耳他之鹰》（The Maltese Falcon）对你来说会是个很好的试金石。比起《神经漫游者》（Neuromancer），这些书处于截然不同的时代和美学风格，但它们以自己的方式，用力过猛到极致反而升华为了崇高，从而定义了所属的流派。要是能看到你是否……会很有意思。
Hmmm. It'd be a neat litmus test for you to read The Big Sleep or The Maltese Falcon. Those are books from a very different time/aesthetic compared to Neuromancer but, in their own way, also defined their genre by being so tryhard they became sublime. It'd be interesting to see if you…
《平衡锤》（Counterweight）；德朱纳（Djuna）。很棒的科幻。《瘦子》、《马耳他之鹰》；哈米特。优秀电影背后的好书。
Counterweight; Djuna. Good sci Fi. The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon; Hammett. Good books behind excellent movies.
我在八十年代读过《马耳他之鹰》（Maltese Falcon）。即使我忘了它出自哪里，那个关于 Flitcraft 的故事至今仍历历在目。震撼力真的很强。
I read "Maltese Falcon" in the eighties. I remember vividly that story about Flitcraft, even if I had forgotten where it came from. It's really powerful.
