Summary White Jazz
Free download ↠ PDF, DOC, TXT or eBook ↠ James Ellroy James Ellroy ↠ 4 Read & Download review µ White Jazz 104 Los Angeles 1958 O FBI decide proceder a uma investigação para acabar com as lotarias clandestinas do pugilismo ligadas ao crime organizado e às máfias ue proliferam. This conclusion to James Ellroy s LA uartet is just as wholesome and uplifting as the previous three books with his usual cast of characters such as corrupt cops gangsters hustlers blackmailers shakedown artists bag men thieves junkies drug dealers dog killers whores johns pimps peepers perverts panty sniffers and politicians Oh and most of them are killers racist andor incestuous as a bonus and that includes the hero of the novelIt s 1958 and LAPD Lieutenant Dave Klein is a busy guy In addition to his police duties he s also a lawyer a slumlord and he does the occasional contract murder for hire Klein gets assigned to investigate a weird break in and vandalism at the home of a police sanctioned drug dealer but with an ambitious US Attorney sniffing around the LAPD trying to build a corruption case it seems a bad time to be drawing attention to that particular rotten apple Klein also takes a side gig from Howard Hughes investigating an actress who left him to star in a B horror movie about communist space vampires and he d love to start chasing down a gang who pulled off a daring robbery of a fortune in furs to get a piece of their action However Klein soon finds himself in the middle of a living nightmare which pull his loyalties in multiple directions and as the crimes pile up it ll take a miracle to keep him from ending up in jail or the morgueThe last two novels of the LA uartet each used a trio of bad men doing bad things as their main characters and Ellroy very consciously breaks the format here by making Dave Klein the solo lead and a first person narrator This seems kind of like a call back to the structure of Black Dahlia and gives the conclusion a intimate and personal feel but it also seems like it doesn t uite fit As usual when things really start going off the rails Ellroy has his lead running around like a maniac both committing and investigating crimes while constantly making and betraying alliances that further his own agenda for the moment When you have three characters doing this they can share the load and have them in various levels of trouble By having only Klein to put in the soup it really stretches credibility too far to think that he wouldn t have been arrested or killed about halfway through the book and it certainly doesn t seem like anyone would deal with him after the third or fourth time he s double crossed themEllroy also advanced the clipped sentence fragmentstream of consciousness style he d been building to new levels and in fact he probably pushed it too far in this one LA Confidential has a flow to it that works whereas White Jazz too often veers into near gibberish It s a problem that shows up in other Ellroy novels too When he s got this style on a leash he can really take it for a walk but when it gets away from him it runs wild and devolves into near self parodyProbably my biggest disappointment with this is that it just doesn t seem to deliver on the promise of the ending that LA Confidential pointed towards That built to where it felt like the final book had to be an all out war between two of the characters left standing By bringing in a new character with the LAC angles only coming into play late in the game it doesn t have the epic climax to the entire story I was hoping forIt s still a solid Ellroy novel but it doesn t uite deliver on the potential of what came before
