  • "Lugubre et macabre cette enquête réelle à l'aide d'un détective pour connaître la vérité sur l'assassinat de sa mère. Une sorte d'autopsychanalyse qui transforme le remords de n'avoir pas pleuré à l'occasion en calme relatif qui émane de la tentative de trouver la vérité."

  • "De auteur beschrijft hoe de nooit opgehelderde moord op zijn moeder zijn jeugd na zijn tiende overschaduwde."
  • "Jean Ellroy was murdered in 1958. Her body was dumped on a roadway in a run-down L.A. suburb. The killer was never found. The case was closed. It was a sordid back-page homicide that nobody remembered. Except her son. James Ellroy was ten years old when his mother died. His bereavement was complex and ambiguous. He grew up obsessed with murdered women and crime. His life spun hellishly out of control. He ran from the ghost of Jean Ellroy. He became a writer of radically provocative and best-selling crime novels. He tried to reclaim his mother through fiction. It didn't work. He quit running and wrote this memoir."@en

  • ""Astonishing . . . original, daring, brilliant." --Philadelphia InquirerIn 1958 Jean Ellroy was murdered, her body dumped on a roadway in a seedy L.A. suburb.??Her killer was never found, and the police dismissed her as a casualty of a cheap Saturday night. James Ellroy was ten when his mother died, and he spent the next thirty-six years running from her ghost and attempting to exorcize it through crime fiction. In 1994, Ellroy quit running.??He went back to L.A., to find out the truth about his mother--and himself.?? In My Dark Places, our most uncompromising crime writer tells what happened when he teamed up with a brilliant homicide cop to investigate a murder that everyone else had forgotten--and reclaim the mother he had despised, desired, but never dared to love. What ensues is a epic of loss, fixation, and redemption, a memoir that is also a history of the American way of violence. "Ellroy is more powerful than ever." --The Nation??From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
