James Ellroy Reviews

He writes in a readable way, wears his learning lightly, and puts his discussions with Ellroy to good use. If you are interested in studying Ellroy, this thoughtful book will prove a valuable and important resource. (Martin Edwards, Do You Write Under Your Own Name, Doyouwriteunderyourownname.blogspot.de, January, 2016)
