This discussion illustrates a core belief of mine,
much-reviled by others...there is no "mainstream" of
literature, merely many genres, from which certain items are
plucked and filed under more vague labels when they can't be
seen to fit the currently fashionable genre labels, or, as
with Ellroy's work (as much as this Has happened with
Ellroy's work), when they become popular enough. TM
