TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 21

JAMES ELLROY

Author, The Hilliker Curse, L.A. Confidential and The Black Dahlia

In conversation with Tom Barbash, Author; Contributing Book Critic, The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle

As a novelist, screenwriter, essayist and memoirist, Ellroy is more closely identified with Los Angeles than any writer since Raymond Chandler. Now, in his most recent book, the legendary crime writer reveals the brutal personal life that has shaped his art: The unsolved murder of his mother when he was a child. Her killer was never apprehended, which unleashed a force that has propelled his work.
