Okay...I found it. Perhaps I'm reading to much into it, but I
quote Ellroy in the Salon Magazine interview: "I have never
been able to read noir and enjoy it very much. I put down Jim
Thompson's book "The Killer Inside Me." I just thought it was
shit. I honestly think that most noir is cliche."
The site is

I dunno, I interpreted it as a slam against Thompson.
