Someone mentioned on the list that at some point Ellroy would
put it all together and knock our socks off... I think with
the Big Nowhere, he already did this. Really loved the book,
and need to re-read it, as I read it something like 10 years
ago. I really disliked White Jazz. Ellroy was trying on a new
style, and I don't think he had it altogether yet...but it
came through pretty well in American Tabloid.
I see it listed as his "masterpiece." But I still that
title going Nowhere. Haven't read the Cold Six
Thousand.
BTW, first post, my name is Tony. Big fan of Chandler, the
two MacDonalds, and of recent novelists - Block, Burke, and
Loren Estleman.
