Britton's Hang Out Hour

Описание: Britton's Hang Out Hour returns and today I have on Steven Powell, the biographer of James Ellroy and runner of the channel ‪@EllroyReads‬. I told Steve that I wouldn't talk about the Demon Dog too much, but it turned out that I didn't do a very good job at it. Some of the topics we covered includes his book Love Me Fierce in Danger, how he came to become James Ellroy's biographer, some of his favorite and least favorite books he's read while running his channel, Gore Vidal's novel Burr, how crime fiction has been taken more seriously by the literary establishment and Steve's role in that, Steve explains the morality of Ellroy's work, the cognitive dissonance of America, and so much more!

Thank you Steve for giving some of your time to be on this podcast! Next week's guest will be Sarah K. Balstrup! Can't wait!
