James Ellroy

James Ellroy, de son vrai nom Lee Earle Ellroy, né le 4 mars 1948 à Los Angeles, en Californie, est un écrivain et scénariste américain, spécialisé dans le roman noir et le roman policier historique. Se décrivant comme « conservateur » et « réactionnaire », il dépeint au travers de son œuvre un monde particulièrement pessimiste et corrompu, dans lequel perce néanmoins la notion de rédemption, fil conducteur de nombre de ses ouvrages. On peut citer parmi eux la série de quatre livres sur Los Angeles dont font partie Le Dahlia noir et L.A. Confidential, sa trilogie Underworld USA qui retrace son histoire des États-Unis de 1958 à 1973, ainsi que son récit autobiographique Ma part d'ombre. Plusieurs de ses romans ont été adaptés au cinéma. En savoir plus sur Wikipédia
