James
Ellroy
James Ellroy is one of the world's best-selling crime
writers and essayists, known for his unique "telegraphic"
writing style, which omits words other writers would
consider necessary, and often features just sentence
fragments. The author of LA Confidential and
The Black Dahlia, he struggled with alcohol and
drugs early in his career, but was able to achieve
long-term sobriety by creating a powerful inner vision of a
satisfying drug free life. He will share his thoughts and
experiences about addiction and addictive behaviors.
