Note from the author: I first wrote this tribute to Dashiell Hammett for Political Affairs in 2013. Today, literally thousands of books are being banned from school and public libraries by right-wing vigilante groups and Republican-dominated state governments.

A well-done article. I never knew about this writer. More research should be done on him.

I should also check out his work sometime.

    Actually, I plan to get started with his work soon after just reading this.
