- Famed writer and essayist James Ellroy stopped by the University of South Carolina recently. The demon dog of crime fiction was on hand as the school celebrated acquiring his collection of works, including handwritten drafts of his newest work, "This Storm."

This is one of the more candid, no-bullshit interviews I've seen with Ellroy. Usually his persona dominates, but he sounds quite sincere through all of this.
Mr. Ellroy is a top 10 writer in the history of English literature.
American Tabloid should be a huge HBO show.
Agreed. Hell, we need the Ellroy Cinematic Universe.
Thank you! This is one of James Ellroy’s best interviews yet. He’s really in top form here. Just brilliant!
James Ellroy is one of the greatest hard boiled crime writers around. So when he says, because he is from Los Angeles, that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was what it was really like at that time. That’s what it was like. It doesn’t matter if some of the people watching didn’t like his answer. You’re not from Los Angeles, and you didn’t grow up there in the 60s. So you have no idea.
Huge Ellroy fan here. Great interview!
Fantastic interview. Love it when the interviewer is enthusiastic about the author's work.
The equal best Ellroy interview I've seen. Well done.
Woah, Ellroy praising Tarantino. I never thought I'd see this.
Lovely interview.
READ MORE! 75 yrs… and a race to read more. 70 so far this year mid August, but feel like I’m falling behind. Great message - JustRead!
I’m always struck by what a nice, genuine guy Ellroy seems to be despite his penchant for tossing interviewers intentionally misleading BS
The hardest author to read I've ever encountered. So worth the effort. Blood's a Rover is a work of art.
You should read Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian'.
Great great great interview!
It was a pleasure. Really wish he could get the tv rights back to some of his work so we could get some awesome shows. We can see his stuff perfectly on HBO Max.
Every time I see an interview with him, I feel like they only mention The Black Dhalia and LA Confidential ... as if The Big Nowhere and American Tabloid aren't the greatest crime books ever written.
This is a brilliant interview. Thank you...
Mr. Ellroy, try reading Derek Raymond's I Was Dora Suarez. The late, UK crime writer is my all-time favorite crime scribe. His Crime Factory Series is second to none.
Shoutout Errol Spence! The truth!
Nice shirt, James.
That caddy question was extremely embarrassing but he saved it
The demon dog at his nicest!
how on earth does one manage to get an interview with James Ellroy? i heard he is a very hard man to reach. correct me if i'm wrong :) haha
@@news19nerds11 I do screenwriting and James Ellroy is one of my biggest influences and I been buying and reading all his books. The fact you guys got to meet him is so cool 😎 I’m so bloody jealous hahaha
Ellroy's books are far too dense and have such a wide canvas, a 90-minute film can't possibly do them justice.
Why LA? What a stupid question. Is this interviewer from NYC or San Francisco? Only somebody from either of those places would ask someone to defend themselves because they live in or write about LA.
My god how in the hell can someone be so full of them self and be taken seriously. I didn't think much of once upon a time in hollywood. Whats up with the weird fictional end scene ?
