An international bestseller and true modern classic, American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront.
Bret Easton Ellis is the author of several novels, including Imperial Bedrooms, Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, Glamorama and Lunar Park, and a collection of stories, The Informers. Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho and The Informers have all been made into films. His first work of non-fiction, White, was published in 2019. He is the host of the Bret Easton Ellis Podcast available on Patreon. He lives in Los Angeles.
American Psycho is a beautifully controlled, careful, important
novel . . . The novelist's function is to keep a running tag on the
progress of the culture; and he's done it brilliantly . . . A
seminal book
*Washington Post*
Serious, clever and shatteringly effective
*Sunday Times*
For its savagely coherent picture of a society lethally addicted to
blandness, it should be judged by the highest standards
*Sunday Times*
That the book's contents are shocking is downright undeniable, but
just as Bonfire of the Vanities exposed the corruption and greed
engendered in eighties politics and high living, American Psycho
examines the mindless preoccupations of the nineties preppy
generation
*Time Out*
Our killer nonchalantly takes his blood-splattered clothes to the
dry cleaners and gives them attitude when they complain about the
stains . . . You'd think at least one of these witnesses would get
suspicious or complain, but they don't
*Spin*
The first novel to come along in years that takes on deep and
Dostoyevskian themes . . . Ellis is showing older authors where the
hands have come to on the clock
*Vanity Fair*
