Salon's 1996 Best Books of the Year Winner j ames Ellroy is a publicist's dream. He's got a dynamite story, loves doing press and has no discernible sense of shame. For over 15 years, Ellroy has been writing crime novels set in 1950s Los Angeles where he grew up in lean, bleak prose once described as "so hard-boiled it burns the pot." His fascination with murdered women, particularly the infamous, unsolved "Black Dahlia" case, is, as he has repeatedly pointed out, rooted in the mysterious killing of his own mother in 1958, when he was 10. "My Dark Places," Ellroy's recently published memoir, records his attempt, at age 46, to investigate his mother's murder. Enlisting the help of a retired L.A. County Sheriff's Department homicide detective named Bill Stoner, he sifts through piles of decades-old evidence, rousting octogenarian witnesses and suspects and gradually learning how to truly mourn his loss. The book is a corrosively addictive read, not the least because Ellroy gives himself no quarter, describing his squalid post-murder life (drugs, shoplifting, homelessness, creepy voyeurism, petty crime, white supremacism, jail time, 12-hour masturbatory sessions) in pitiless detail. Such relentless self-exposure requires a cast-iron ego, which Ellroy possesses in spades. Tall and lean, he's so amped up even in his married middle-age that it's a bit frightening to imagine him as an adolescent speed freak. He leaves his interlocutor in no doubt as to who runs a James Ellroy interview, but since no topic is off-limits, and it's a helluva ride, who's complaining?

In his introduction to L.A.

I wanted to create a recognizably racist and reactionary cop and make his racism and reactionary tendencies casual attributes rather than defining characteristics and I didn’t care whether my readers liked Lloyd Hopkins—as long as they liked the books he was in.” “I wrote Blood on the Moon ,” Ellroy continues in the introduction to L.A.
