It's all part of his character.... if he is such an isolator why does he need the mass media and big publishing houses? why is he interested in selling his books by going to the major book events? and getting them to the big movie billboards he so much hates... total incongruence and arrogance.
James Ellroy: "I don't give a shit about culture in any way" but your books and work are part of culture, therefore you don't give a shit about those? You may want to go lie in a dark room somewhat longer and consider that.
Here's the issue: How can you make superlative statements like "He's the best artist ever" if you don't at least try to expose yourself to other artists. You just sound kind of ignorant at that point. Watch:
"I only eat Spam. It is the best meat product ever. I've never had chicken, steak or swordfish. I have no reason to. Spam is the best there is."
@TheTinker19 Exactly. His ex-wife said that his politics, persona, etc. is "mostly bullshit" and when pressed by an interviewer, he laughed and basically agreed. It's funny how he just messes with people and they bite.
james ellroy cherche a calquer son destin à celui de beethoven... il se veut maudit comme le compositeur et sa 9eme symphonie... il se veut isoler du monde comtemporain et sourd comme beethov... un dur de la feuille... en tout cas un grand écrivain pour ma part qui écrit avec ses tripes comme beethov crée de la musique...

sorry ellroy--you contradict yourself...if you care about classical music, in particular beethoven, WHICH YOU DO, then you care about culture
sometimes ellroy can be disingenious...i remember when he used to say he was never going to live in LA again....and guess where he lives now

I'm fairly certain that he isn't really being 100% serious and is deliberately fucking with the interviewer.

"I saw LA Confidential 32 times. It's somewhat over-rated."
Ellroy is the greatest troll that has ever trolled.
