"First paragraph of The Cold Six Thousand are as follows: 'They sent him to Dallas to kill a nigger pimp named Wendell Durfee. He wasn't sure he could do it.' If that offends you, fuck you, put the book down. If you think I'm a racist, fuck you, I will not justify myself and say 'I am not a racist' because anyone who would say something like that sounds like Richard Nixon saying 'I am not a crook."

He's right, you know.

Now will he do a follow up on his career?

That's not a paragraph, that's two sentences, James.

Ellroy is a great stylist and to anyone who's actually read his work it's clear he's not a racist, but merely using the language of the era he's writing about in a particularly hard-boiled manner.

I think anyone who can't tell that the narrator emulates the language of the characters ironically is a retard.
