His L.A. trilogy is inspired. The movie will pale for you.For instance, just wait until you learn the *real* reason the Lieutenant (?) had a briefcase full of coke. Way too strong for mere movies!
Follow Ups:
I have all of Ellroy's books and have met him a few times... curiously we share a birthday and are both 6'5", just like Jan Gabarek whom I also like a lot.
In person, or, rather, performance, he is a bit like Groucho Marx... curiously funny like an old fairground barker.
I wonder if he has now exorcised his demons and will never produce work of that standard again. Not that I mind, his work is... work, while he is a person, but I miss reading them...
Any news on when The Black Dahlia is released?
I agree the books are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too dark to ever be made truthfully (!!!) as films.
