Eddie Muller in Dashiell Hammett's restored apartment in San Francisco. #FilmNoir #NoirAlley 📷 ~ Matthew Ryan Williams for The New York Times, 2014.

This photo is from an article by Dan Saltzstein "San Francisco Noir" in the New York Times, June 27th, 2014...

The night before, I found myself back at 891 Post Street, Hammett’s home. I was led into the building and up a creaky antique elevator by Eddie Muller, a San Francisco native, author and self-proclaimed “noirchaeologist.” We headed to the fourth floor and entered apartment 401; I was immediately struck by a sensation of having traveled through time.

The apartment has been restored to be a simulacrum of what it might have looked like in the ’20s, outfitted with all things vintage: a gramophone, a frosted-glass door and a desk topped with a typewriter and lamp — and yet another replica falcon.

As we sat down to chat over a bottle of bourbon, Mr. Muller, a pleasantly gregarious man clad in a checkered beige suit, blue tie and pocket square, began to explain the story of the apartment’s revival. (The apartment is not open to the public; I got lucky in that Mr. Muller is one of only a couple of people with access. “It is more like a shrine than a museum,” he told me, with evident pride.)

Hammett had sent letters from 891 Post Street, where he wrote three of his five novels, but the apartment’s exact location had to be teased out of clues, ones embedded in “The Maltese Falcon,” by the apartment’s one-time resident, Bill Arney, who had taken Mr. Herron’s tour years before. Spade, too, lived on Post Street, and a few further details — it’s a fourth-floor apartment in proximity to the elevator; there’s an unusual bend in the hallway — left only one suspect: apartment 401.

After Mr. Arney gave up the apartment, Mr. Muller contacted a friend, Robert Mailer Anderson, an acclaimed writer and philanthropist, who had the resources to make the restoration happen. The idea, Mr. Muller said, was “so that it looks like Hammett just went out for a pack of cigarettes.”

A sunken ship, a lost axe, and an undead admiral. What starts as one 13th Age character background could become a treasure hunt, a city mystery, or a heist. See how Wade Rockett builds an adventure from a PC’s past: bit.ly/4AoJxL7

‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.’ Today, we’re bringing out the first edition of Tolkien’s The Hobbit 🐉 It started off with a single sentence and became a well-loved children’s book, complete with illustrations and decorations from the author himself.

Today is the 89th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit. Here's a thread on interesting glimpses the book gave us into the legendarium Tolkien had at that stage already been working on for over twenty years but which readers at the time would have had no sense of.

The argument against AI should always start with the THEFT of creative labor the technology was built on. The intent was CRIMINAL. CEOs should be facing charges, not class action lawsuits. The devastation these companies continue to inflict on creative communities demands accountability.
