Ep. 9.1: James Ellroy’s AMERICAN TABLOID with Jacob Everett
Update: 2025-08-12
Description
Episode 9.1
The brilliant and magnanimous Jacob Everett, the mastermind behind Apocalypse Confidential, joins me to discuss AMERICAN TABLOID by James Ellroy—a masterful classic of paranoia, carnage, and the real deal behind the forces of history. We talk the potency of Ellroy’s style, crime fiction as high art, the resonance of the JFK assassination, Ellroy contra Quentin Tarantino, and figure out which more recent unsolved mystery is prime to spawn its own subgenre in the coming years.
Follow Jacob on Twitter.
Apocalypse Confidential is one the best literary mags out there. You should be reading it closely.
