JAMES ELLROY: THE BIG NOWHERE, THE LIMITED EDITION
SUMMARY:The second volume of "The L.A. Quartet," — Ellroy's fictional alternative history of the City of Angels circa the 1940s and '50s. Volume 2 is centered around the Hollywood Red Scare of the 1950s and a gruesome mutilation murder committed by a killer fitted with wolverine teeth. Key characters include Mal Considine, Turner "Buzz" Meeks and and L.A. Deputy Sheriff Danny Upshaw. Dudley Liam Smith also makes his first appearance since Ellroy's second novel, "Clandestine."
POINTS:The novel was first published by Mysterious Press in the U.S. on Sept. 12, 1988. This limited edition of the Big Nowhere was packaged in blue cloth with matching blue slipcase by Ultramarine Press. The limited edition consisted of 350 numbered copies signed by Ellroy. It now appears, however, that contrary to publishing info on the dedication page of the '88 Ultramarine ltd. edition of "Big Nowhere," the planned 40 numbered copies in half-leather and 10 lettered copies in full-leather were never bound.
