As a novelist who has spent years crafting and refining his intense
and oft outrageous ""Demon Dog of American Crime Fiction"" persona,
James Ellroy has used interviews as a means of shaping narratives
outside of his novels. Conversations with James Ellroy covers a
series of interviews given by Ellroy from 1984 to 2010, in which
Ellroy discusses his literary contribution and his public and
private image.Born Lee Earle Ellroy in 1948, James Ellroy is one of
the most critically acclaimed and controversial contemporary
writers of crime and historical fiction. Ellroy's complex
narratives, which merge history and fiction, have pushed the
boundaries of the crime fiction genre: American Tabloid, a
revisionist look at the Kennedy era, was Time magazine's Novel of
the Year 1995, and his novels L.A. Confidential and The Black
Dahlia were adapted into films. Much of Ellroy's remarkable life
story has served as the template for the personal obsessions that
dominate his writing. From the brutal, unsolved murder of his
mother, to his descent into alcohol and drug abuse, his sexual
voyeurism, and his stints at the Los Angeles County Jail, Ellroy
has lived through a series of hellish experiences that few other
writers could claim.In Conversations with James Ellroy, Ellroy
talks extensively about his life, his literary influences, his
persona, and his attitudes towards politics and religion. In
interviews with fellow crime writers Craig McDonald, David Peace,
and others, including several previously unpublished interviews,
Ellroy is at turns charismatic and eloquent, combative and
enigmatic.
