Did Not Hear

        When the bottles hit they tinkled and jangled noisily ; but Eddie did not hear them because of the overriding - yet distant, far off - sound of his own screaming.

Stripped-Down Staccato

          Dialogue and narration in Ellroy novels often consists of a "heightened pastiche of jazz slang, cop patois, creative profanity and drug vernacular" with a particular use of period-appropriate slang. He often employs stripped-down staccato sentence structures, a style that reaches it's apex in The Cold Six Thousand and which Ellroy describes as " direct, shorter-than-longer sentence style that's declarative and ugly and right there, punching you in the nards".

In a Trance

        I really seem to be in a trance when i am taking the picture because there is so much drama taking place. I mean you just can't hide it - go around wearing rose-colored glasses. In other words we have beauty and we have ugliness.
