| 1996 | My Dark Places: An L.A. Crime Memoir. True-crime author Ellroy, whose books have been described as "Chandler crossed with Tarantino, Hammett hybrid with Spillane", writes about his mother's 1958 murder. Reviewer Michiko Kakutani calls the book "an introduction for new readers to this gifted writer's disturbing oeuvre" and "a revealing map to the autobiographical sources of his fiction." |
