Book First Edition
Condition: Gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 461 (3) Seiten mit Abbildungen. 21,4 cm. Schutzumschlaggestaltung: Thomas Bonnie unter Verwendung eines Fotos des Police Dept. LA. Sehr guter Zustand. Buchblock leicht verzogen. Ein ungelöster Mord wird zum tragischen Beginn eines Schriftstellerlebens. Geneva "Jean" Ellroy wurde 1958 in einem schäbigen Vorort von L.A. vergewaltigt und ermordet. Der Täter wurde nie gefasst, die Ermittlungen eingestellt und der Fall als tragischer Ausgang einer durchzechten Nacht ad acta gelegt. James Ellroy war damals zehn Jahre alt. Der Mord an seiner Mutter wurde seine Obsession. In den kommenden Jahrzehnten hat er die verstörenden Erinnerungen abwechselnd verdrängt und im Schreiben heraufbeschworen. Erst 1994 stellt er sich dem Trauma seines Lebens. Zusammen mit dem pensionierten Detective Bill Stoner begibt Ellroy sich auf die Suche: nach seiner Mutter, ihrem Mörder und seiner Erlösung. Ellroy ist der wichtigste zeitgenössische Kriminalautor." Der Spiegel. Eine erschütternde Autobiographie . unverblümt, grausam und seltsam erregend." San Francisco Chronicle. Mit Sicherheit war das Verbrechen an meiner Mutter auch der Impuls, mich der Crime Fiction zu widmen." James Ellroy in Die Welt. - James Ellroy (* 4. März 1948 in Los Angeles) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Seine Kriminalromane sind Bestseller. Ellroy beschreibt mit Vorliebe die dunklen Seiten der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft. Seine Romane zeichnen sich durch einen lakonischen Sprachgestus, eine dichte Handlung und eine gründlich pessimistische Weltsicht aus. Leben: Als Ellroy zehn Jahre alt war, wurde seine Mutter erdrosselt aufgefunden. Fast vierzig Jahre später recherchierte er den Fall intensiv nach und schrieb darüber das Buch My Dark Places (Die Rothaarige), das auch eine Art Autobiographie von Ellroys frühen Jahren darstellt. Ellroy verbrachte Nächte auf Parkbänken, war alkoholabhängig und über 30-mal kurz im Gefängnis. Er hörte 1975 mit dem Trinken auf und 1977 mit den Drogen. Im Alter von 31 Jahren begann er seinen ersten Roman (Browns Grabgesang) in einem schäbigen Hotelzimmer zu schreiben (der Legende nach im Stehen). Ellroy, der Kriminalromane in großer Menge gelesen hatte, setzte sich zum Ziel, der größte Kriminalautor aller Zeiten" zu werden. Seine erklärten Vorbilder sind Dashiell Hammett, Joseph Wambaugh sowie Raymond Chandler und Ross Macdonald. James Ellroy ist zwei Mal geschieden und hatte in den letzten Jahren einen Nervenzusammenbruch auf einer Buchtour. . Über die aufgeführten Titel hinaus erschienen von James Ellroy mehrere Bücher mit Erzählungen und Kurzgeschichten. 1996 erschien mit My Dark Places (deutsch: Die Rothaarige) ein weiterer vielbeachteter Titel. Die Information, dass ein Journalist beabsichtigte, die Geschichte von Ellroys ermordeter Mutter erneut auszugraben, hatte den Schriftsteller 1994 dazu veranlasst, eigene Vor-Ort-Recherchen in Angriff zu nehmen. Zusammen mit dem pensionierten Polizisten Bill Stoner trug Ellroy neue Unterlagen, Zeugenaussagen, Fakten und Indizien zusammen. Zwar war wie er 2010 in The Hilliker Curse selbstkritisch bekannte die Chance, den Täter nach dreißig Jahren ausfindig zu machen, denkbar gering. Mit den als Mischung aus Autobiografie und Reportage präsentierten Ergebnissen lieferte Ellroy nicht nur eine Verbrechensdokumentation in eigener Sache. Die Rothaarige war darüber hinaus auch ein Versuch, postum seiner Mutter Gerechtigkeit und Würde angedeihen zu lassen. In einem Interview äußerte er sich über seine Motive, die Geschichte seiner Mutter in dieser Form aufzugreifen, wie folgt: In den 70ern war ich ein Mann, der trank, Drogen nahm und rumhurte. Sie war eine Frau, die das gleiche in den 50ern machte. Ich hatte merkwürdige sexuelle Neigungen. Sie nicht. Ich war in einem alarmierenden gesundheitlichen Zustand, was mich dazu antrieb, wieder solide zu werden. Auch sie hätte so einen Wandel in ihrem Leben vollziehen können, wäre sie nicht dem Scheißkerl begegnet, der sie getötet hat." . . . Aus: wikipedia-James_Ellroy.
