One of the great American writers of our time. * Los Angeles Times *
Fierce, brave, funny, scatological, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid. – Stephen King
James Ellroy is the American Dostoyevsky. – Joyce Carol Oates
James Ellroy is the neo-noir eminence of L.A. crime fiction. * The New Yorker *
Ellroy keeps things moving at breakneck speed at all times … The trick to it is Ellroy’s incomparable style; fast, punchy, telegrammatic prose that demands to be read quickly and that flows like an enraged river. * NPR *
There has never been a writer like James Ellroy… . He has been making real a secret world behind the official history of America … and to enter it is to experience a vivid eyeball rush of recognition. * The Telegraph *
James Ellroy is the king of macho noir. * Guardian *
As lysergic, incantatory and forensic as anything he’s ever written * IAN RANKIN *
