ELLROY READS – The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler

For the latest episode of ELLROY READS I look at the influence of Raymond Chandler on James Ellroy’s work. Ellroy fans will know that the Demon Dog has been merciless in tearing to shreds Chandler’s reputation as the master of the hardboiled private detective. However, this has not always been the case and, early in his writing career, Ellroy acknowledged Chandler as a major influence.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and please comment, subscribe, share, like and so forth.
