James Ellroy

James Ellroy is an American author of noir crime fiction and historical mystery novels. He is best known for his unique style of prose where he leaves connecting words out and writes in short sentences. He was able to condense his novel White Jazz from 900 pages to 350 by simply eliminating verbs, rather than eliminating any subplots. He is best known for his L.A. Quartet and Underworld USA Trilogy.
