  • Nostalgic Masculinity: Homosocial Desire and Homosexual Panic In
    Nostalgic Masculinity: Homosocial Desire and Homosexual Panic in James Ellroy’s This Storm Nathan Ashman, University of East Anglia Abstract: The second volume in James Ellroy’s ‘Second LA Quartet’, This Storm (2019) offers a complex miscellany of war profiteering, fifth column sabotage, and institutional corruption, all of which is starkly projected against the sobering backdrop of the internment of Japanese- Americans. Whilst presenting Ellroy’s most diverse assemblage of characters to date, the narrative is, nonetheless, principally centred on the intersecting bonds between men. Although the prevalence of destructive masculine authority in Ellroy’s works has been widely discussed, what has often been overlooked are the specifically ‘homosocial’ dimensions of these relationships. Whilst these homosocial bonds are frequently energised and solidified by homophobic violence (both physical and rhetorical), this paper will argue that they are simultaneously wrought by ‘homosexual panic’; the anxiety deriving for the indeterminate boundaries between homosocial and homosexual desire. This panic is expressed most profoundly in This Storm in the form of corrupt policeman Dudley Smith. Haunted by a repressed homosexual encounter, Smith’s paranoid behaviour and increasingly punitive violence derives from his inability to establish clear boundaries between his intense homosocial bonds and latent homosexual desires. Thus, whilst Ellroy’s ‘nostalgic masculinity’ attempts to circumscribe the dimensions and inviolability of male identity, the paranoia and violence that underscores the various machinations of Ellroy’s crooked cops ultimately exposes the fragility of such constructions. Key Words: James Ellroy, Masculinity, Homosocial, Panic, Homosexual The punitive brutality that underlies James Ellroy’s codifications of masculinity has long been a cause of critical contention.

Now it just makes me tired. First, what works. I've started to really enjoy annotating and this is the first real experiment with it. In this book you know too much. Ellroy works best when he's let loose on the scene of downtown LA, with the scumbags and the scarlet women. A couple of years ago I studied theology and some books I read was good and some books were bloody awful and almost impossible to get through. Friend Reviews. Screw Perfidia. None of the major players seem that concerned about the war with the Japanese. I survived the audio version of this plodding novel. James Ellroy is a popular American crime fiction author of more than ten major novels, several of which have been made into films. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. James Ellroy, as you might expect if you have entered his fictional worlds before, creates a dark and gritty underbelly of a city full of drugs, corruption and crime.

    “Yellow Peril”: Contradictions of Race in James Ellroy’s Perfidia Nathan Ashman University of Surrey, United Kingdom Abstract James Ellroy’s treatment of race continues to captivate and polarize both popular and academic opinion. Whilst some see the casual racism and often uncomfortable stereotypes in Ellroy’s work as a reflection of the author’s own political agenda, for others Ellroy’s work offers a complex deconstruction of both racial identity and white social power. Focusing on his novel Perfidia, this paper explores these contradictions and paradoxes in Ellroy’s representations of race, arguing that whilst the novel depicts and forcefully overemphasizes an historical moment fraught with a brand of physiognomic racism that persecutes individuals on the basis of biological difference, it simultaneously deconstructs such essentialist engenderings by foregrounding the performative dimensions of race as a category of identity. As a result, this paper argues that Ellroy’s novel “visibilizes” the socially and institutionally constructed nature of race, deconstructing and destabilizing the integrity and authority of white social power. Yet, this paper also suggests that through such an unyielding portrayal of white power, Perfidia only partly dislodges the authority and power of institutional whiteness, and can in fact be seen to validate the sustainment of such apparatus. * Hostility towards Asian immigrants took several different forms. At one level, Japanese were stereotyped as being part of the “Yellow Peril”—an image in which hordes of Asians threatened to invade and conquer the United States. Wendy Ng, Japanese American Internment During World War II: A History and Reference Guide (8) The treatment of race in James Ellroy’s historical crime fiction continues to polarize both popular and academic opinion.
