<<As a matter of fact, Ellroy claimed never to have
read any Jim Thompson at all, except for King
Blood for which he had written a preface of the Brit
edition.>>
He wrote an introduction for the reissue of Thompson's old
novel _Heed the Thunder_. If he never read Thompson, what is
he doing writing an introduction full of superlatives? I
don't have the book with me, otherwise I would quote from
it.
