James Ellroy, after only 3 books, has taken his place among my most favorite writers. Ellroy's collection of fiction and non-ficiton is a mixed bag, but mostly excellent. The best essay is "Let's Twist Again," a return to his junior high days. I expected something more elegiac and less upbeat, but the change of tone suits the peace. In fact, it is one of the best pieces I have ever read about those forgotten Jr. High years. Frankly, the weakest piece is the Sinatra crime story--TiJuana, Mon Amour. There was nothing much new it in it and the other long short stories, esp. the Dick Contino piece were better. Danny Getchell as a narrator is better in short bursts. There are more mediations on his mother's murder, but even if you have read "My Dark Places" they add a bit of perspective. I loved his piece on the LA Confidential movie/Curtis Hanson, the piece of the Sheriff's Homicide Department, and the OJ Simpson story. As an avowed OJ junkie, I love to read anything new on it. Perhaps not his strongest work, but certainly worth a read if you enjoy his work. Sadly, the introduction is written by the late Art Cooper of GQ, who many of us still miss.
