The big guy always bites harder
The leitmotiv of this year’s BCNegra is “The little dog bites”. James Ellroy says that if the dog, like him is bigger, it bites even harder. At just over 1.9 metres, Ellroy even growls when he speaks. Yesterday the writer received the 13th Pepe Carvalho prize at the City Council’s Saló de Cent, followed by an interview before a showing of film The Black Dahlia, directed by Brian de Palma and based on the novel by Ellroy himself. Born in Los Angeles in 1948, Ellroy is marked by an event central to his work and life, somehow: the unresolved murder of his mother when he was 10. His road to fame as a writer saw him pass through a journey, with crime, alcohol, drugs, prison and living on the streets along the way.
