Since James Ellroy claims to read no fiction except Don
DeLillo's "Libra," perhaps he thought of DeLillo for his
prologue. DeLillo's work borders off topic (except perhaps
for his influence on Ellroy), but I can think of two
important DeLillo prologues, one in Mao II and one in (the
vaguely hardboiled?) Players. Doug
