Goodreads asked James Dalessandro:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

James Dalessandro That's easy. Nick and Nora Charles from The Thin Man. Asta the dog would make a nice "Best Couple and Pet." Dashiell Hammett wrote the smartest, snappiest dialogue of any fiction writer, he's the true master of the genre, and by creating Nora Charles, he gave us a woman who was ever bit the measure of his male characters.
