White Jazz makes previous detective fiction read like Dr. Seuss
San Francisco Examiner
A vivid, enthralling read... James Ellroy is the outstanding American crime writer of his generation
Independent
James Ellroy is a genius: the finest American crime writer since Raymond Chandler, and one of the most readable experimental writers in the world
Times Literary Supplement
One of the great American writers of our time
Los Angeles Times Book Review
Recent novels by the likes of Carl Hiassen, Andrew Vachss and George V Higgins have at best been treading water. James Ellroy may be the exception. He seems in less danger of burnout than of going supernova
New Statesman and Society
Riffling, rolling, reeling . . . Ellroy's best
The Denver Post
Riveting . . . Impossible to put down . . . An author who breaks all the rules. He's a kamikaze pilot on a collision course with hell. The pen moves madly across the page . . . A book that is one long scream of rage and emptiness and longing
The News and Observer
The most original crime writer of our time
Spectator
Without him and his crime fiction, there's no David Peace or The Sopranos or Ian Rankin or The Wire or the work of countless writers and film makers who saw a different way of doing things when they first cracked the spine on an Ellroy
