I try not to take Ellroy on anything other than the most basic (superficial?? primeval??) level. Digging into it would aggravate me. That's the rule I apply to most pulp and noir. Thinking about Dashiell Hammett and Lilian Hellman makes me want to scream blue murder.

when I was 10 the horse I was on reared back (like you see in the movies) and I went flying, ass over teakettle. the horse then came over and kicked at me (missed), my career aspirations to be a movie extra died that day

It’s heartening that Nancy and Sluggo have been given a second chance by the internet hipsters

I hope that Marmaduke and The Lockhorns get their days in the sun as well
