54510, wasn't Ellroy's original protaganist... Posted by manythoughts, Wed Mar-14-07 06:46 PM
Lloyd Hopkins a liberal. I'm not sure, but I think Ellroy said that writing liberal characters wasn't interesting to him.
Dude is disturbed, though, so I think its best read everything he writes with that in mind.
As far as Scorsese, the characters in his films come from a certain background and that background lends itself to that type of jargon.
