This book, recommended by my roommate, is the second in a three-volume series reimagining some of the major events of the second half of the twentieth century in America: the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, the assassinations of King and the Kennedy brothers--and, I suspect, events inclusive of Watergate in the third volume. This article is about the novels by James Ellroy. Edgar Hoover , the highest ranked crook in the book. Like all of Ellroy's prose there is a bit of a madman, a bit of a savage, stuffed into every clipped, dense sentence, but after a while, I was dreaming of long sentences and sunshine; just a bit of variety. His long transit of courage brought him to the point of calling forth his own death. Ellroy does not shy away from the deep-seated racism that has been passed down from generation to generation in this country as if it were a part of the family DNA. She loved it.

  • 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.

  • James Ellroy's Dark Places Through Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida
    Love, Death and the Photographic Image: James Ellroy's dark places through Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida Katrina Beal She is a theme of honor and renown, A spur to valiant and magnanimous deeds. Whose present courage may beat down our foes And fame in time to come canonize us - Troilus and Cressida, II, ii, 199-202 Since the publication of The Black Dahlia, James Ellroy's hardboiled crime fiction has increasingly attracted both popular and critical attention, the latter focused primarily on Ellroy's representations of gender and violence. I In his second novel, Clandestine, as well as The Black Dahlia and the subsequent three volumes of 'The L.A. Quartet' (The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz), Ellroy invariably reworks the same subject matter: violent crimes committed against women by men in the (fictionalised) social context of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 1950s. Such criticism has understandably tended to contextualise Ellroy's crime fiction in terms of the history and conventions of the genre. Nonetheless it has often been suggested, not only by journal­ ists and reviewers but, most notably, by Ellroy himself, that much of his writing has been influenced by the traumatic event of his mother's murder when he was a child. Indeed, Ellroy has consistently promoted this view in his publicity campaigns for Clandestine, The Black Dahlia and his auto­ biographical crime memoir My Dark Places.2 The emphasis that Ellroy places upon the significance of his mother's murder is not reflected in the body of criticism on his writing to date, however, despite the fact that Ellroy 75 Literature and Aesthetics explicitly links his mother's murder to his writing, or more precisely, to his treatment of this subject matter in the prefaces to each successive text.

    “James Ellroy”1 Christophe Den Tandt Université Libre de Bruxelles (U L B) 1998 Biography: James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1948. He is the son of Geneva (Jean) Hilliker Ellroy, a registered nurse, and of Armand Ellroy, a freelance accountant. Ellroy's parents divorced when the boy was four. From then on, Ellroy lived with his mother in L.A. The event that indelibly affected Ellroy's childhood occurred in 1958, when his mother was raped and strangled. This part of Ellroy's life is explored at length in his recent autobiographical memoir My Dark Places (1996), where the author, now in his late forties, describes his efforts to elucidate the murder, which remains unsolved to this day. After Jean Ellroy's death, Armand Ellroy was in charge of the boy's education. He proved a negligent and manipulative father. Under his tutelage, Ellroy grew into a rebellious teenager with criminal tendencies. To compensate for his psychological isolation, he adopted an aggressively theatrical personality, which led him, for instance, to profess pro-Nazi sympathies in order to provoke his schoolmates. He also became an avid reader of crime writing. The influences he mentions are, for instance, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ross McDonald, and, typically, ex-cop Jack Webb's The Badge—a documentary of L.A. law enforcement in the postwar years. After Ellroy was expelled from high school, he joined the U.S. army but soon obtained a discharge by simulating mental instability. By the death of his father in 1965, Ellroy had developed into a petty burglar.
