Reading Notes W13: The Maltese Falcon Part B

• What I noticed is how this novel relies heavily on dialogue to create imagery.
• The different dialogue paints a picture on what it must have been like in those times.
• The dialogue even has the slang that they used back then too and has that old gangster mob kind of sound that you would imagine someone like al capone would have.
• currently Spade and Polhaus are talking about the death of Miles (Spade's partner) and come to realize that Thursby (The man Miles was following) was the one that shot him.
