I've been picking up Black Lizard books whenever I can find them. They
are fine fine fine. But I've never seen an Ellroy introduction. Can
someone out there give me a BL title Ellroy wrote an intro to? Love to
see it. Too bad BL quit, eh?

Regarding Thompson, anyout ever read A HELL OF A WOMAN? Talk about
harrowing! I can say I've never seen anyone write in quite a hard-boiled
manner as Thompson in this book, some some critic said represents the
despair behind the newspaper headlines. What a book!

It would be interesting to speculate what the greatest crime novel is.
