Ellroy Reads – Guru Special

July 20, 2025

This week’s episode of Ellroy Reads is slightly different than usual as I am looking at Guru writing that has inspired James Ellroy. Sinister quacks and spiritual grifters have often been portrayed as villains in crime fiction, and I identify a few examples in Ellroy’s novels. However, I also discuss a few episodes from Ellroy’s private life where he fell under the spell of such people. Some of the book’s I mention are The No-Spin Zone by Bill O’Reilly and Prayer by Timothy Keller.

It’s a cracking episode made just for you, dear reader. Do remember to hit those subscribe, like and share buttons to spread the word.
