<<(Ellroy denies this, while insisting Mosley could not have written his
"Red" book without reading the LA Quartet.)>>

A curious assertion. Musically speaking, Mosley is a man of the blues
and Ellroy a frenzied hard-bopper. Their styles have totally different
beats. I didn't see any traces of Ellroy's influence on _A Red Death_.

Maybe we should invite Ellroy to [expunged: get his ass over here]
participate in this forum. I'm sure it would be [expunged: a stinking
mess] a lot of fun.
