[designed by ben wiseman]

_ellroy is coming to 2011’ paraty international literary festival, in rio de janeiro.

The book is brief, but it covers a world of pain. In dense, explicit and yet jazzily lyrical prose, Mr. Ellroy recounts his masochistic voyeurism; his periods of breaking into women’s homes to fondle and smell and steal their possessions; his drug and alcohol addiction; his tormented dalliances with prostitutes, fans and fantasy girls; a loving but often sexless marriage; and a shattering nervous breakdown at the height of his career. | Andrew Klavan @ The Wall Street Journal
