Title: Tijuana my love - James Ellroy - book
Summary :
After Serial Crimes and Destination Morgue, this third collection concludes the publication of James Ellroy's short texts. The author's interest in criminal news stories is well known. This obsession constitutes the central theme of the articles and fictions gathered in Tijuana mon amour. Whether he retraces the investigation into the death of a radio presenter's daughter or features one of his favorite heroes, the inexhaustible editor-in-chief of the scandal sheet l'Indiscret, Ellroy loves nothing more than exploring "the jungle of glamour." We encounter the famous gangster Mickey Cohen, Lana Turner and her lover Johnny Stompanato, and a few actors and other second-rate "celebrities." We rediscover with jubilation the characteristic touch of the author of The Black Dahlia in these portraits.
