Nope. Although he spent his formative years in the U.K. and
became a naturalized British citizen as a teenager, he was
born in the States. And he restored his American citizenship
in 1956.
Thus, I guess an argument could be made (but not by me) that
the man who created Marlowe was, as someone pointed out here
a few months ago, a British citizen.
The mind boggles.
Next week, we discover that James Ellroy co-writes cat
mysteries under his real name. With his mother.
