Anticipated by whom? Critics?

A very dull selection.

Personally - I'm looking forward to

"Mary Ann in Autumn" by Armistad Maupin
"The Fall" by Guillermo del Toro
"The Caretaker of Lorne Field" Dave Zeltserman
"Xenozoic" by Mark Schultz
"Vampirella Archives Vol. 1" by Warren Publishing
"Echo" by Jack McDevitt
"Dark Shadows The Complete Series Vol. 1" by Donald Arneson, et al

"The Instructions" sounds really intriguing, although it seems like critics and publishing marketers are always eager to compare people to the likes of Foster Wallace or Pynchon any time a giant book comes out. We'll see, I guess.

The Jim Carroll novel is something I definitely look forward to.

How long can Ellroy milk his mother's death for a profit?

It's the one event in his life that has inspired many of his works of fiction. A lot of authors have had events in their lives that inspire their works, Ellroy isn't the first, and he's certainly not going to be the last. This is like asking when is Grisham going to stop milking the judicial system for a profit, or when did Henry Miller stop milking his one night stands for a profit.

Problem is, when he was doing interviews for the screen adaptation of 'The Black Dahlia' he said numerous times that he would never mention either his mother or the Dahlia case again. That seems to have lasted 2 years, tops.

He obviously still has issues with it. And when did it become a problem for a writer to make a living writing?
