Love Me Fierce In Danger: The Life of James Ellroy (Bloomsbury, 2023) is the story of James Ellroy, one of the most provocative and singular figures in American literature. The so-called “Demon Dog of Crime Fiction,” Ellroy enjoys a celebrity status and notoriety that few authors can match. However, traumas from the past have shadowed his literary success. When Ellroy was ten years old, his mother was brutally murdered. The crime went unsolved, and her death marked the start of a long and turbulent road for Ellroy that has included struggles with alcoholism, drug addiction, homelessness, and jail time. In tracing his life and career, Steven Powell reveals how Ellroy's upbringing in LA, always on the periphery of Hollywood, had a profound and dark influence on his work as a novelist. Using new sources, Powell also uncovers Ellroy's family secrets, including the mysterious first marriage of his mother Jean Ellroy, eighteen years before her murder. At its heart, Love Me Fierce in Danger is the story of how Ellroy overcame his demons to become the bestselling and celebrated author of such classics as The Black Dahlia and LA Confidential. Informed by interviews with friends, family, peers, and literary and Hollywood collaborators, as well as extensive conversations with Ellroy himself, Love Me Fierce In Danger pulls back the curtain on an enigmatic figure who has courted acclaim and controversy with equal zealotry. Steven Powell is an Honorary Fellow in the English Department at the University of Liverpool, UK. He is the editor of Conversations with James Ellroy (2012) and 100 American Crime Writers (2012). His most recent work is James Ellroy: Demon Dog of Crime Fiction (2016). Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** We're back from our unplanned hiatus to discuss James Ellroy's sprawling neo-noir about the sprawling city of Los Angeles, "L.A. Confidential." Later adapted into a film by Curtis Hanson in 1997, "L.A. Confidential" takes place in 1950s Los Angeles, where three policemen, each with a distinct brand of justice, cross paths after a deadly massacre takes place at a Hollywood diner. This story has everything you could want from a gritty noir - dames, murder, mystery - combined with the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood. But be careful; behind all that glitz and glam lies a dark underbelly that swallows people whole.... #LAConfidential #CurtisHanson #RussellCrowe #GuyPearce #KevinSpacey #KimBasinger #DannyDeVito #JamesCromwell #DavidStrathairn #BrianHelgeland #Noir #movieAdaptation #1997 #Booktoscreen #Titanic #FilmisLitPod #bookvsmovie #bookworm #LosAngeles #1950s #detectivestory #murdermystery #dirtycops
