Opis

James Ellroy: Demon Dog of Crime Fiction is a study of all of Ellroy's key works, from his debut novel Brown's Requiem to the epic Underworld USA trilogy. This book traces the development of Ellroy's writing style and the importance of his Demon Dog persona to carving out his unique place in American crime fiction.

Recenzje

"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)
