Uh, what's wrong with rolling around in cesspits, at least at
a literary remove? As Kerry pointed out, I thought that was
one of the things we appreciate in noir, a glimpse of where
we might be but for the grace of
. . . Although I agree Ellroy has come to wallow in it (after
getting it right for a long time), I can't think of any
subject or human behavior he has dealt with that has not been
done well in some noir story or other (sometimes even by
Ellroy).
