UNCHAINED MEMORIES
SUMMARY: The persistence of memory. For a psychological take on James Ellroy, check out "Unchained Memories: True Stories of Traumatic Memories, Lost and Found," by Lenore Terr, M.D.The book contains a long chapter about Ellroy and the influence of his mother's murder entitled, "The Black Dahlia's Son." Terr interviewed Ellroy twice in 1991, once in his studio in Eastchester, N.Y. and the last time in L.A. just shortly after he completed his writing of "White Jazz." The interviews caught Ellroy some years before he began digging into his mother's murder and analyzes the crime's influence and effect on Ellroy's writing.
