Triadic Philosophy
A Universal Way of Life for the 2000s
10/29/11
Outline for a novel
I am hipped on the James Ellroy mode of doing history
That would be using real figures and creating fictional actors who interact
with the movers and shakers
The trilogy that includes American Tabloid and the Cold Six Thousand
are exemplary
I like these the best of what I have read thus far
They are set in the late 50s and early 60s
The lead male characters
would not be on the dance cards of most people
All of them kill with more or less cause
All exist in the demi-world where tawdry sex
Violence
Organized crime
and Racism
are endemic
There is seepage between that world
And the world of official history
Ellroy convincingly creates
the backdrop for the assassinations of JFK MLK and RFK
He establishes to my satisfaction
the likelihood that all of these assassinations were not the work of
single shooters
But grew out of a plausible environment where the driving force
is hate
To create this plausible environment is
challenge Ellroy met and overcame
