Is James Ellroy the best judge of his own novels?

Just because he's disowned The Cold Six Thousand, should readers automatically defer to his harsh judgment? About 20 of us were ushered along the quiet, institutional corridors of the BBC's Bush House . Following a security guard past an empty barber shop, a deserted cafe bar, up stairs and down hallways, we eventually arrived at a small reception area. There, we were offered glasses of wine and a...

More on Ellroy's Blood's a Rover

I was impressed by James Ellroy about a month back when Norman Rush covered his Underworld USA Trilogy in the NYRB. Mostly I was drawn in my Ellroy's dramatically stripped-down style and his vaguely Dilloesque project of writing a fictional shadow-history of the U.S. Little more on this trilogy now in The Guardian in the form of a review of the third volume, Blood's A Rover : There is much to admire...

Blood's a Rover by James Ellroy | Book review

Machine gun prose meets labyrinthine plot in James Ellroy's latest, says Sean O'Hagan The title of James Ellroy's latest novel is taken from AE Housman's poem "Reveille", a very English meditation on life's brevity. Four lines from the poem also provide the book's epigraph. Discovering that Ellroy digs Housman is one of the few surprising things about Blood's a Rover , the concluding part...

James Ellroy

The celebrated crime writer reveals that after his last book led to a breakdown, drugs and divorce, this time he has his demons in check Some illuminating pre-interview James Ellroy research shows: “America’s greatest living crime writer” (some would root for Elmore Leonard) feigning joyful masturbation for the benefit of the Playboy Channel outside the [...]

Quirky Quotes

I want to find the guy who invented sex and ask him what he's working on now- Joke quoted by James Ellroy in the Times The Church is like a swimming pool, most of the noise comes from the shallow end- Theologian W.H. Vanstone quoted in the Guardian Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions. -Woody Allen, quoted in the Independent. It is...

The excellence of Richard J. Evans There's a small pile of unread fiction beside Malcolm's desk. Another on his bedside table. In the usual run of things, Nine Dragons, the 14th Harry Bosch, would be a day's non-work. Robert Harris's Lustrum , Cicero 2 , would be not much longer. James Ellroy's Blood's a Rover , completing the Underworld USA trilogy, might demand a bit longer. All of those have been...

Sam Worthington Gets Gritty in 'American Crime'

Few of us have had the chance to read Rick Remender's upcoming series, The Last Days of American Crime , but it's already tapped for the big-screen treatment. To sweeten the deal, American Crime already has a face. An Australian one. Mania is reporting that Sam Worthington has signed on to play the series' star criminal, Graham Brick. American Crime is set in a near-future where the government has...

THE GHOSTS Of Christmas Presents

It’s been a terrific year for Stuart Neville. Superb reviews of his debut novel, THE TWELVE (aka THE GHOSTS OF BELFAST); interviewing James Ellroy at the Belfast Waterfront; and last weekend – in case you missed it – a lovely write up from Marilyn Stasio in the New York Times , in which TGOB was the lead review. All of which is very nice indeed, but then Stuart is a very nice bloke...

The Twilight Quartet: Twi-Hard Confidential

(with apologies to James Ellroy) 'New Moon' posters perniciously proliferate. Heart-throb head shots hang from hoardings. Brooding bloodsuckers emblazon bus stops. The emo undead encroach on commercial breaks, inveigle the internet, gaze glassy-eyed from glossy magazines. I'm implicity ignoring and tenaciously tuning out the abject adverts. I'm soft-pedalling on Stephanie Meyer's sell-out saga and...
