With an introduction by Irvine Welsh. A cult classic, adapted into an award-winning film starring Christian Bale.
Bret Easton Ellis is the author of six novels, Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, Glamorama, Lunar Park and most recently Imperial Bedrooms, which was a Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller, and a collection of stories, The Informers. His work has been translated into twenty-seven languages. 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 -- Fay Weldon * 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 -- John
Walsh * 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 -- Bob Mack * 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 *
