I agree with you Mario.
For the little it's worth, at a signing about a year ago, I
made the mistake of asking Ellroy if Dos Passos was an
influence. He said no, and it seemed like a sincere answer. I
guess a claim could be made that Ellroy picked up the Dos
Passos influence through DeLillo. Or as Ellroy calls him,
"Donkey Don."
