Film and literature are occasionally merged into the work of Raymond Chandler. This symbiosis is performed both on the fictional level and on the purely discursive level. It is this last aspect that is analyzed in this article. By using rhetorical figures such as comparison, hypotyposis and certain techniques that suggest a cinematographic framing or the movements of a camera, the narrative of this American writer engages in an interdiscursive dialogue with a mass art that is already part of contemporary culture.
