ALL THE RED SHEET NEWS!!!!!
Peter Larson interviews Ellroy in the Los Angeles Daily News
“The genius of Ellroy is that he’s simultaneously economical and sprawling; over the course of 500 pages, he’s somehow capable of efficiently explicating the equivalent of several seasons of The Wire with a rhythmic parataxis that aims to punch the reader in the throat.”
Mark Hemingway, Washington Examiner
‘It’s satanic to me, the dependency people have on computers’

The Ankler’s “The Rushfield Lunch,” interview
“Ellroy excels at writing about the bad, compromised and corrupt, and he makes them resonate in the reader’s consciousness long after the story has concluded. The power of the pen is immovable in his hands.”
“Ellroy Now, More Than Ever”
‘Red Sheet’ transforms LA into hallucinated landscape
Red Sheet Tour Announced!!!!!!
Red Sheet is an anti-communist novel. It stands foursquare in the tainted tradition of Ayn Rand and Mickey Spillane. Ellroy is out to scramble your long-held perceptions and force you into a state of jumped-up disavowal.
Red Sheet scorns the mock-martyred Hollywood Ten and ballyhoos the Blacklist and the ’47-’48 HUAC hearings. Red Sheet forces you to live within the twisted and oddly tender soul of Richard M. Nixon. Red Sheet spotlights the Spanish Civil War and atrocities committed by the commie-infested International Brigade, heretofore held as heroic. Red Sheet lionizes name-naming kingpin Whittaker Chambers and bestows kudos on ratfinks Elia Kazan and Budd Schulberg.

NEW ELLROY DOC FROM ITALY!!!!! Ellroy vs. L.A.
“A dark journey into the mind of noir master James Ellroy. Through an exclusive interview and archival materials, the documentary intertwines his personal and artistic story with his unique vision of Los Angeles: the city where he was born, source of his traumas and an endless reservoir of events, crimes, and characters that became the foundation of his literary masterpieces. Ellroy’s rhythmic, jazz-inflected narration alternates with the sounds of the legendary Italian band Calibro 35.” — The Film Stage
