I'm a member of an Ellroy readers group on myspace, but
rarely bother to look in because I use myspace for my orrible
electronic music, but clocking in today I found in their
bulletin boards this message, left in September this
year.
"I got it from the man himself: the third book in the
Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy will be released in March '08. It
will end in May of '72, and Ellroy has said he will not write
past that moment in time in his future works. In other words,
all his subsequent work will take place before May '72. I
wanted to pump him for details but I didn't. I do recall him
saying this book will focus on Latin American imperialism,
Hoover's final years, the escalation of Nam, Hoffa's end and
Sonny Liston. He has no interest in Watergate.
No word on if Wayne Tedrow will be the sole protagonist or if
he creates another pair to make it a trio.
After that, Ellroy will start writing his
semi-autobiographical multi-generational Wisconsin cop family
drama."
There's also a bit of a discussion about the filming
of White Jazz - apparently George Clooney was due to play
Dave Klein but has now changed his mind or some such and the
project has been shelved/put on the back
burner/incinerated.
Peace, love and entertaining homicides to you
all.
Colin.
