Review:
Praise for James Ellroy: "One of the great American writers of our time."
--Los Angeles Times
"Ask me to name the best living novelist who's fierce, brave, funny, scatological, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid . . . and it becomes simple: James Ellroy. If insanity illuminated by highly dangerous strokes of literary lightning is your thing, then Ellroy's your man."
--Stephen King "James Ellroy is the American Dostoevsky."
--Joyce Carol Oates
