James Ellroy (Hardtalk)

[@watchdog304]

I could listen to Ellroy all day.

This woman talks like she’s sure James has done something wrong, but she can’t quite pinpoint what it is. And his deft answers are not helping her.

I don't even understand how Ellroy exploiting his mom's murder to get attention for Black Dahlia early in his career is a bad or distasteful thing. Not only did him doing so allow his formerly forgotten mother some level of recognition as a victim who never received justice, it also granted her and her name a level of immortality within the mythology of LA, as well as allowed her, in a way, to despite losing out on all opportunity to help her son grow to excel and succeed once murdered, to be able to do those things from beyond the grave

Ahhhh "A great private human infrastructure to great public events." Finally he captures my ultimate reason for reading his books.😂😂😂

I've seen war criminals given an easier ride than this, holy moley.
