Love this writer. What a wit. So sorry for the loss of his mother in such a wicked way as a child.
The greatest author in recent history
Deserves nobel prize ... how long are we going to wait !
My favourite writer.
I really enjoy Jeff Glor's taste in and passion for great literature.
Great books. LA Noir.
My favorite living writer. I went to a reading in Hollywood with he and Joseph Wambaugh many years ago when I was 18 (the youngest person there by far). I was too nervous to approach Ellroy after the meeting, but he looked at me (a kid) and we made eye contact and he nodded at me and smiled. A memory I will forever cherish.
the Goat! truly one of our greatest living writers
Love this segment🙂🙂💯💯❤️❤️
AMERICAN TABLOID is a masterpiece
American Legend
I agree. He wrote a great trilogy decades ago.
I believe alcohol hit James Ellroy hard and then harder. Dark, disturbed guy. Hope he is on the wagon. Interesting video.
He got sober several decades ago.
Too bad he doesn't use electronics. I'd love to comment how big of literary icon I believe him to be via email or something. This guy is the real deal American fiction crime author of our times
what a childhood :(
Has anyone read James Ellroy new book? And if so is it any good?
❤
I wonder if that dress still has leftover JFK juice on it😂
Ellroy sees L.A. as it truly is..
A mean , deceitful , fickle harlot that seduces you with a dream that can never be lived...
Elroy has a unique trajectory. His early books were awful. In the 90s he produced incomparably brilliant spoken jazz historical novels.
Of late he has produced necro-noir, exploiting and degrading dead celebrities (e.g. Burt Lancaster kept a private torture chamber). I shudder to think how he's going to feast on Marilyn.
The only explanation is that Ellroy kidnapped a genius; forced the genius to write his books in the middle of his career; and then the genius died. Elroy has regressed to his meanest.
Perfidia is one of his greatest works in my opinion, and that is a recent addition to his canon.
@@QEsposito510 My problem was with Widespread Panic. I don't know, 2-3 years old. I stood in line, I paid more for an autographed copy.
It exploits dead celebrities shamelessly and slanders them outrageously. 10 mph off the fastball too.
The guy at his best was amazing but this book was parasitism.
@@1rjbrjb oh yeah I understand now, I’m sorry. WP is my least favorite entry besides the Lloyd Hopkins trilogy. Too much empty celebrity-naming nonsense and nefarious nutjob alliteration.
I was boggled by the vision contained in his The Cold 6000
@@jamespollock11 Cold Six Thousand is my number 2 favorite. The thing was a meditation on the nature of hate itself.
Can’t read him anymore. Impenetrable
I completely agree. His mojo is gone.
