I am transfixed by Blood's Rover, James Ellroy's newest novel, Ellroy is a master of dialogue, of rhythm, of setting a scene in fragmented sentences. And, of course, he is the master of historical conspiracy.
Perhaps because he is such a master writer, I fear that everything he writes is true. I have been listening to the Audiobooks version of Blood's Rover and reading the hard copy at the same time. They both seem necessary for stylstic appreciation; moreover, my iPod wasn't up to the job of downloading the entire huge file so I have no idea how Wayne dies or how the darned thing ends.
