Und auf eine Nebenfigur, die schon in einigen B\u00fcchern auftauchte:  Hallo Freddy Otash, Redakteur des Boulevardmagazins <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Confidential_(magazine)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Confidental<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conifidential und seine Schmutzgeschichten waren immer mal wieder Backdrop eines Plotes. Und in diesem Buch geht es nur um Freddy und wie er sich um seine Karriere bringt. Das ist \u00fcber weite Strecken auch spannend, weil es sich wie ein Eintauchen in eine geliebte Welt anf\u00fchlt und der Stakkato-Stil von James Ellroy hier wieder perfekt passt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Auf der anderen Seite nervt das permanente Namedropping von Hollywood Prominenz (James Dean, Marlon Brando, Natalie Wood, Nicholas Ray und viele mehr) und die Anbindung an echte Geschehnisse (<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caryl_Chessman\" target=\"_blank\">Caryl Chessman<\/a><\/em>), die teilweise arg weit hergeholt r\u00fcberkommt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am Ende ist es ein wenig wie bei <em>Jener Sturm<\/em> (wobei es mehr Freude machte es zu lesen): Sex, Hollywood, Kommunistenhatz und nichts als zynischer Nihilismus. Alter Tee in altem Becher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ich halte Ellroy mal die Treue, aber so richtig gl\u00fccklich bin ich nicht. Da schaffen andere Autoren konsistentere Universen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soundtrack dazu: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JXOK9W5GXPk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red Death &#8211; Atomic Howl<\/a><\/em>, was sonst?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: Was ist so schwer die Atmosph\u00e4re korrekt auf den Deutschen Umschlag zu bekommen?

The atom bomb looms large over this novel. Freddy says \u201cthe bomb blast made me.\u201d Bob Dylan once referred to Elvis and Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis as being \u201catom bomb fueled.\u201d Don DeLillo has touched on this idea too, that the atom bomb was a kind of catalyst in American culture in some intangible way. Do you think that\u2019s true and why was it a symbol you wanted to play with? \n\n\n\nA: I was having fun with the atom bomb. Freddy thinks the atom bomb is cool. And you know, I\u2019ve always liked the atom bomb. I never thought the atom bomb was gonna go off in America. I\u2019m glad we had the atom bomb. I\u2019m glad we dropped it on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and you know if we nuked Moscow we wouldn\u2019t be in the shit we are in today. George S. Patton and Winston Churchill wanted to go and take the reds out, to my mind a very, very good idea. But you know, hindsight is 2020. If you think about it\u2026. Do you like Jazz? Duke Ellington renamed his band briefly in \u201958 to Duke Ellington and his Spacemen. And Count Basie played a long summer engagement in \u201958 billed as Count Basie and his Atomic Band. It\u2019s the idea that there\u2019s something that powerful. So the Count and the Duke. These powerful and genius musicians had to go atomic. There was the atomic drive-in and the a-bomb burger. All kinds of stuff.\n\nFrom: https:\/\/crimereads.com\/hungry-like-a-dog-james-ellroy-will-not-stop-being-james-ellroy\/\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gelesen: 03. \u2013 25.09.2022 (netto 422 Seiten &#8211; Lesevergn\u00fcgen wurde durch einen Umzug gebremst) Aus dem Amerikanischen von Stephen Tree.
