James Ellroy and Roberto Bolaño

James Ellroy’s Blood’s a Rover is out today, and the Demon Dog is everywhere. So far my favorite bit comes from the Economist‘s review.

Only Roberto Bolaño, with his genre-bending mysteries, approaches Mr Ellroy’s skill at simultaneously hewing to and subverting the genre’s conventions.

Update: A great interview with Ellroy here (.mp3).
