"The true scourge for Ellis is censorship."—Eli
Roth, Interview
"Playfully provocative . . . a feature-length yawp, equal parts
memoir and State of the Union address, that will infuriate or
delight. . . . [Ellis] rails against the diktats of the
politically correct."—Charles Arrowsmith, The Washington
Post
"Ellis's true purpose . . . is to offend young, progressive
readers."—Andrea Long Chu, Bookforum
"Fiercely independent, sometimes controversial, and always
outspoken . . . White will surely anger some
readers."—Peter Larsen, The Orange County Register
"Tough-minded and realistic. . . . Ellis will lose friends over
this book."—Barton Swaim, The Wall Street Journal
"[In] his first book in nine years–and his nonfiction debut—Ellis
exudes the same youthful spirit he’s always had: of irreverent
amusement, quiet irony, indefatigable artistic curiosity. He’s a
living embodiment of how, between the predigital world of 1985 and
today, both everything and nothing has changed. And it’s been
Ellis’s life’s work to make us confront the absurdity of that world
in all its grimness, comedy and plastic beauty."—Lauren
Christensen, The New York Times
“If Joan Didion is the California ice queen who picked apart the
increasingly threadbare fabric of 70s American society, then,
with White, Bret Easton Ellis is her heir apparent . . .
shifting his focus to nonfiction for the first time [and
turning his] withering eye to the social-media age.”—H.W.
Vail, Vanity Fair
“Intelligent and briskly observed. . . . [Ellis is] an artist who
engages deeply with works, and his takes on film, especially, are
often fascinating. . . . Ellis isn’t afraid to be contrarian, and
that’s what makes this book so interesting.”—Keir Graff,
Booklist
“Well written [and] bubbling with attitude and
self-confidence.”—Kirkus
