Fucking Ellroy so based

>There were also less formal engagements. He talked to women—on the phone, in restaurants, in his apartment. Late one night he drove to the house of his girlfriend. The lights were on: the woman, her husband, and their children were inside. Ellroy opened the window of the car and proceeded to bay like a dog. He drove around the block and howled again. Then he did it a third time. The girlfriend called him the next day, laughing. Apparently he bayed at her several times a month. They had a unique arrangement.

I used to know a guy who bayed at women. It's a wacky 60s/70s thing.

I love his style, but poor puntuation is not style. It is lazy writing and editing.

Some writers get too much praise about their 'unique style' and decide the have to top it the next book I think.

Chuck Palahniuk went off the deep end with it, but at least his books stayed decent.
