If you're curious about an author's life as well as his writing, this is worth reading. Emery gives just enough detail about Hammett's life without bogging down in extraneous detail. Some of the stories weren't as good as Hammett's nameless Continental op, but it was good to read them anyway. Just to get a sense of Hammett's type of writing.
