Ellroy and the Beach

down the road, rounding portuguese bend, you'll find yourself isolated and alone -- a real beach; rocky and without sand trucked in by the city.

go down a cliff. whichever. but go down a cliff and wear good shoes.

leave the sandals @ home.

rattlesnakes afoot.

and bring a girl.

a pretty girl with dark hair and red, red lips.

bikini top and daisy dukes.

@ least that's the general idea.

hell, Ellroy didn't seem to miss the girl.

happy as a clam, he was.
