ELLROY READS – ‘Red Harvest’ by Dashiell Hammett
April 28, 2024
In the latest episode of Ellroy Reads I look at Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest, which is one of the single biggest influences on James Ellroy’s writing career. I also share a story of how Hammett’s biographer played a role in me landing the gig as Ellroy’s biographer.
This is the last episode of Ellroy Reads I’ll film before I fly out to New York City this week, where Love Me Fierce in Danger: The Life of James Ellroy is up for Best Critical/Biographical Edgar Award. Wish me luck!
Enjoy the video, and please comment, share, subscribe etc.

Best of luck! Well deserved for both the biography and the collective Ellroy work over the years.
Thank you Dan!
