Overview: James Ellroy’s The Hilliker Curse. My Pursuit of Women is a raw, explicit memoir as high-intensity and riveting as any of his novels.
The year was 1958. James Ellroy was ten years old. His mother, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy, had divorced her fast-buck hustler husband. She gave her son a choice: live with his father or her. He chose his father and she attacked him. He wished her dead. Three months later, she was murdered.
Ellroy writes: “I owe her for every true thing that I am. I must remove the malediction I have placed on her and on myself.” In The Hilliker Curse, he narrates his quest for atonement in women. He unsparingly describes his shattered childhood, his delinquent teens, his writing life, his love affairs and marriages, a nervous breakdown and the beginning of a relationship with an extraordinary woman. It is a layered narrative of time and place, emotion and insight, sexuality and spiritual quest. And all of it is reported with gut-wrenching and heart-rending candor.
The Hilliker Curse is a brilliant and soul-baring revelation of self and unlike any memoir you have ever read.
