BOOKS

James Ellroy The famed mystery author is known for being compelled by the gruesome deaths of women — the Black Dahlia and his own mother, for starters. But in “The Hilliker Curse,” he instead offers a half-loving, half-self-loathing document of his romantic foibles and his quest to redeem his own perceived failings in the arms of the fairer sex. Largo at the Coronet, 366 N. La Cienega Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. $25. https://www.largo-la.com.
