Re-reading now, so I just caught this. Have seen Ellroy at several readings in NY, this was far superior. Thanks for posting.

James Ellroy is a funny guy maybe somewhat eccentric, but amusing. I read LA Confidential, The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, My Dark Places, all good books.

I'd love to know what Ellroy thinks of the film Dark Blue.

He said in another interview that it was a bad film.I really like Dark Blue but wasn't surprised that he didn't like it,he doesn't seem to like any movie I thought it was way better than LA Confidential.

I love James Ellroy, but I'm at page 500 and the sub-plots are impossible to keep track of. Nice to see the Dudster back in action...

Talk about authors who challenge and make their readers work for the ultimate payoffs. No one in the last half century does it better than Ellroy imho. I've read the LA Quartet, Underworld USA Trilogy and am reading Perfindia now. Absolutely brilliant novels. My all time favorite novel by Ellroy & in general is LA Confidential. The movie was fantastic as well, but only about 20% of the whole story. "The Black Dahlia"(the movie is watchable, I guess.) & "Blood's a Rover" are very, very close to it though. Can not wait to finish "Perfidia" and get "This Storm"!

28:59 - This response is one of the few moments of Ellroy's public life where he is genuinely, overtly dispensing with the persona and feeding us the straight dope. I don't think I've ever caught him admitting this about the era of his youth in any other interview.

Flaccidus Minimus true. It’s amazing how people continue to take the schtick seriously. If they didn’t I’m sure we’d get more straight Ellroy, without the troll pyrotechnics.

When did you accept Dwight David Eisenhower really exists? As a fan of FDR this must have been a shock for you, I presume. Once upon in the puberty------or better------- Once upon in the reality----how to start this short novel?
