  biblioklept — Authority: 120
  A few things up front: this can’t really be a proper review of James Ellroy’s Blood’s a Rover as I’m less than a 100 pages into it and its over a 600 pages long. So far though, the book is fantastic, and has completely ameliorated my mistaken impression of what, exactly, Ellroy is doing. You see, I had ...

  Reading, writing, and chocolate — Authority: 98
  Crime author James Ellroy spills the brutal truth about getting published. P.S. I have no idea what hes talking about at the very beginning. Start listening when he says, "Im happy." P.P.S. At first I disagreed with his comment at the end about plot, but on second thought, I think hes right.
