Produktbeschreibung

“One of the great American writers or our time.” — Los Angeles Times“A blood poet who writes as chain saws crank, Ellroy has vigorously redefined the well-shadowed turf of contemporary crime fiction.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "An undeniably artful frenzy of violence, guilt, and unappeased self-loathing. Ellroy's crime fiction represents a high mark in the genre." -- Newsday“Ellroy rips into American culture like a chainsaw in an abbatoir.” -- Time "He's forged a style uniquely his own. Energetic and abrasive, it comes at us like a speed freak. . . . The power and pull of Ellroy's writing is unmistakable." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review"Ellroy is the author of some of the most powerful crime novels ever written." -- The New York Times “Garrotte-tight prose. . . . [Ellroy is] a force of nature, stringing together words into barbed-wire lariats which he then uses to choke the bejesus out of you. . . . His novels are all muscle, zero fat.” --Austin Chronicle "Memorable, stunning, incisive. . . . It is possible, I think, to make the argument that in the past couple of decades, Mr. Ellroy has been the most influential writer in America." --Otto Penzler, The New York Sun“Nobody in this generation matches the breadth and depth of James Ellroy’s way with noir.” --Detroit News "Ellroy sprays declarative sentences like machine-gun bullets, blasting to kingdom come all notions of justice, heroism, and simple decency." -- Entertainment Weekly"[Ellroy] can make the night world of sleaze and street monsters come alive on the page." -- St. Louis Globe-Democrat
