of
Brother of the More Famous Jack:
"A meticulous, kind, hyper-realistic portrait of messy, flawed humans—if Elana Ferrante wrote Bridget Jones, if Nick Hornby did a Jane Austen.

is on page 375 of 544 of Red Sheet: Really enjoying the way all the plot threads are coming together. Reading Ellroy takes stamina, but reading this first thing in the morning, over coffee, with a clear head, is a delight.

| One of the most sensuous, marvelously written books I've ever read. My only regret is not making more notations in the margins, not dog-earing more pages. There are moments of small, internal, human truth on almost every page. Yes, this is a queer co ...more | |
“A true war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it.

There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.”
