- W2347105268 abstract "James Ellroy had planned to introduce and kill off the maverick police detective Lloyd Hopkins in a single stand-alone novel titled ‘L.A. Death Trip’. But ‘L.A. Death Trip’ never saw publication in the form Ellroy had originally conceived. A series of events forced Ellroy to radically revise his literary plans, and Lloyd Hopkins eventually became the lead character in three novels: Blood on the Moon (1984), Because the Night (1984) and Suicide Hill (1986). Ellroy was already a published novelist when he began writing the Lloyd Hopkins novels, yet he has described the period as a time when he was still ‘learning how to write’ (Jud 1998). Ellroy’s task of finding a publisher for the first Hopkins novel, and the complex process of converting the nihilistic and apocalyptic ‘L.A. Death Trip’ into the more conventional and publishable novel Blood on the Moon, was a difficult stage in his writing career. He was to engage in more complex stylistic experiments and build a bigger profile than in his novels for Avon. Ellroy’s departure from Avon and his subsequent renaissance as a crime writer for the Mysterious Press, guided by Otto Penzler and Nat Sobel, is the focus of this chapter. As with the Avon novels, Ellroy’s Lloyd Hopkins novels have been critically overlooked in comparison to his later work. However, despite their flaws, the Lloyd Hopkins novels feature constant narrative experimentation and, in this regard, Ellroy’s later work is indebted to them." @default.
