“How did I kill this Thursby? I’ve forgotten.” – Sam Spade
The Maltese Falcon is the Galesburg Public Library's 2015 Big Read title. I had never read it or seen the movie before this year. They were both much funnier than I expected, and I enjoyed them both. About all I knew about noir was from listening to Guy Noir on the Prairie Home Companion, and it has been interesting learning more about the genre.
I read a lot of mysteries and detective fiction and should
have read The Maltese Falcon long ago. It’s a quick read with spare text, and I
found it highly entertaining.
The library will be hosting four book discussions of The Maltese Falcon in the month of April. Come join us for one of them!
