Vincent Calvino
Vincent Calvino is a fictional Bangkok-based private eye created by Christopher G. Moore in the Vincent Calvino Private Eye series. Vincent Calvino first appeared in 1992 in ''Spirit House'', the first novel in the series. His latest appearance is in ''The Marriage Tree'', the fourteenth novel in the series published in 2014. ''“Hewn from the hard-boiled Dashiell Hammett/Raymond Chandler model, Calvino is a tough, somewhat tarnished hero with a heart of gold.”''—Mark Schreiber, The Japan Times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fb20030316a1.html )
==Background==
Moore’s protagonist, Vincent Calvino, half Jewish and half Italian, is an ex-lawyer from New York, who, under ambiguous circumstances, gave up law practice and became a private eye in Bangkok. Calvino has often been likened to classic hardboiled detective characters like Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe, Dashiell Hammett’s Sam Spade, and Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer. “The hard-bitten worldview and the cynical, bruised idealism of his battered hero (Calvino ) is right out of Chandler,” wrote Kevin Burton Smith in ''January Magazine''. ''The Daily Yomiuri'' called Calvino “a thinking man’s Philip Marlowe … a cynic on the surface but a romantic at heart.” ''The Nation'' calls Calvino “a worthy successor of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe and Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer.” “Hewn from the hardboiled Dashiell Hammett/Raymond Chandler model, Calvino is a tough, somewhat tarnished hero with a heart of gold” (Mark Schreiber, ''Japan Times''). Some critics see Moore’s work a little differently however. Douglas Fetherling said “Moore is a genuine novelist who just happens to employ the conventions of the thriller genre, that his real interests are believable human behavior and way cultures cross-pollinate and sometimes crash. (work ) is real prose, not Raymond Chandler stuff, and his motives are as close to art as they are to entertainment.”
