I'm not kidding. > > http://www.bethshort.com/bd/2006/09/15/orson-welles/ If you can get a few laughs out of a book written by an author who is totally nuts, okay. Have fun! But I agree that Ellroy made a worse hack-job on the Black Dahlia murder than the murderer himself--almost. The John Gilmore book puts the last nail in the case if you ask me . . . http://tinyurl.com/ye9f9lb Case solved. There's a term of art that keeps appearing over and over in all Ellroy's books . . . http://www.jessesword.com/fword/2009/08/fuck-pad/ Every time I see it, I stare at that and I go WTF? I've never seen anyone but Ellroy use it. I think it must be some kind of deviated preversion, a residue from those *Dark Places* afflicting his mind and causing him to think that any place a man finds to sleep that is not under a bush or a bridge, is something to be envied and called "a fuck pad". -- JM http://jpdavid.blogspot.com/ http://bobbisoxsnatchers.blogspot.com http://vignettes-mackie.blogspot.com/ . . . > > Williamwww.williamahearn.com
