Came across this interview with L.A. Confidential writer James Ellroy on the Telegraph website.
I can’t recall if I’ve read any of his novels, though I had met him at a book signing in Michigan. Still I liked the details about his everyday life as a writer: Up at 5:30 for black coffee and oatmeal; writes with a fountain pen (I love those, but haven’t used mine in quite a while); sends out friends for field research.
