American Psycho Cover
In American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in out time or any other. Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
In his inimitable style, Bret Easton Ellis has ventured into uncharted, taboo territory for years. His books portray a perverse blend of fortune, fantasy and deep-rooted human flaw, a world whose inhabitants constantly walk the line between sanity and obsession. With Less Than Zero Ellis introduced the younger generation of Los Angeles' privileged, troubled class; The Rules of Attraction gave readers a glimpse into the twisted world of small, Northeastern college life; in American Psycho one witnessed the shocking fusion of money and angst in the 1980s, as manifested in a main character obsessed with style and consumed by arbitrary vengeance. This definitive satire rivals both Bonfire of the Vanities and Spy magazine as the final word on the decade of excess.
