James Ellroy | This Storm

Recorded June 4, 2019
In his bestselling L.A. Quartet mysteries and the Underworld USA trilogy, James Ellroy “has vigorously redefined the well-shadowed turf of contemporary crime fiction” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). He is also the author of the Lloyd Hopkins trilogy of novels, several collections of short stories and essays, and a memoir about his mother’s 1958 still-unsolved murder. In This Storm, the second installment in the Second L.A. Quartet, Ellroy hammers out a sordid story of corrupt cops, war profiteers, Japanese internment, and fascism during the darkest days of World War II.

Currently reading it. But man, I'm starting to get a little tired of the writing. Also the absurdity of everyone being an evil POS. I take The Big Nowhere and LA Confidential and I start reading it and think this is epic and actually shows instead of just telling.
Also the dialogue is better.
I still enjoy the stuff post american tabloid but I wish Ellroy would go a little back, at least to the style of White Jazz
