Contentville, 2000.
Sobel Weber Associates, the agent of James Ellroy, hold an auction in july 2000
in order to sell the digital rights of Widespread Panic, a collection of 5 fiction and non-fiction
pieces published in GQ.
Contentville won the rights for a non disclosed price
and will offer the e-book in OEB format (Microsoft Reader) in its e-bookstore.
For unknow reasons, the original titled, Widespread Panic has been replaced.
We can assume that the 5 pieces will be those recently published in GQ :
- "I've got the goods " : An essay about Hollywood's scandals. Published in GQ in march 2000.
- "The trouble I cause" : A third novel with Danny Getchell.
Published in GQ in march 2000.
- "Grave Doubt" : Ellroy writes of the case of Gary Graham, a 30-something confessed robber and
rapist scheduled to be executed in Texas in June for the murder of a
53-year-old Texas man. The dog is changing his pro-death penalty stance and
believes there is insufficient evidence to warrant Graham's execution.
