Ordered this. What am i in for?
>>25205680 The greatest work of fiction from the last century. At least if you fancy hardboiled stuff. Can't miss with James "Mad Dog" Ellroy.
>>25205680Hard boiled crime kino marred by yet another homosexual psychopath serial killer with a traumatic childhood plotline
>>25205708>"Mad Dog" Ellroy.>n 1962, Ellroy began to attend Fairfax High School, a predominantly Jewish high school. While in high school, he began to engage in a variety of outrageous acts, many anti-Semitic in nature. He joined the American Nazi Party, purchased Nazi paraphernalia, sang the Horst-Wessel-Lied at school, mailed Nazi pamphlets to girls he liked, openly criticized John F. Kennedy, and ironically advocated for the reinstatement of slavery. His "Crazy Man Act", as Ellroy describes it, was a plea for attention and got him beaten up and eventually expelled from Fairfax High School in 11th grade, after ranting about Nazism in his English class. this guy was a real jerk

like a lot of thrillers, it's too long. There's too many layers of relentless plotting that get tedious. And yeah, homo. On the plus side, you'll get your noir fix, in all the implications of that term
I read American Tabloid and it was pretty good. I have The Black Dahlia and am going to read that before The Big Nowhere
>>25205680A well-plotted thriller with shallow characters and lurid violence.>>25205708Bitch, please.
season 2 of true detective but good.
Trash. Ellroy's male leads are more hysterical than modern women and the conflicts are ridiculous. For his most popular works to be written in the late 80s/early 90s it's shockingly dated. Definitely makes sense that >>25207028was his background. I wish I could get the time and brain cells back from reading Black Dahlia.
>>25209324he's just modern dostoevsky, didn't expect you'd understand that
