By the way, there's an interview with Ellroy at The Onion, and I don't

And that's where I get pissed off at a lot of my younger readers. I
come on avuncular sometimes: I say to a young guy, "Son, what are
you doing? I'm your dad. I drank, I used drugs, I hate William

William Burroughs is a misogynist cocksucker who murdered his
mother." [Long pause.] His, ah, mother? Oops, Freudian
