Ellroy Reads – Memorial by Bruce Wagner

In the latest episode of Ellroy Reads I look at Bruce Wagner’s Memorial. Wagner brilliantly satirises Los Angeles’s addiction to celebrity, Eastern mysticism, lawsuits and more. It’s all viciously brilliant but at times so cruel I struggled with it. I go into Bruce Wagner’s friendship with James Ellroy which, I hope, puts this dark tone in perspective.
