Review
"Savage Art is no less than a great literary biography. It reads like a great biographical novel one life explored, dissected, and infused with a wealth of rich detail. Robert Polito brilliantly riffs off Jim Thompson's life and gives us the world he lived in. It is close to an epic history of America's pop culture. This is a terrific and terrifically entertaining book." James Ellroy, author of The Black Dahlia and The Cold Six Thousand
