Ellroy Reads – The Digger’s Game by George V. Higgins

In the latest episode of Ellroy Reads I look at The Digger’s Game by George V. Higgins. I argue that Higgins’ Boston noir dialogue-driven narratives have been a major influence on Ellroy’s writing style, and why Higgins was once the rising star of American crime fiction but never quite fulfilled his commercial potential.

Enjoy the episode, and please comment, share, subscribe etc.
