Scandalous Book Club 3:00 P.M. In
American Psycho, (Vintage, 1991,
416 pp., pbk., reg. $15.00; sale $13.50) Bret
Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths
of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our 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 sepnding 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.
Vintage
published the book after Simon & Schuster withdrew due to pressure
from feminists who objected to its graphic violence and sexual content.
Is the story of Elli’s yuppie serial killer brilliant satire
of the ‘80s? Misogynistic? Transgressive art? Read it and
decide for yourself.
Bret
Easton Ellis is the author of five previous novels including,
Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American
Psycho, Glamorama, and Lunar Park, and a
collection of stories, The Informers. His works have been
translated into twenty-seven languages. Less Than Zero,
The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, and
The Informers have all been made into films. He divides
his time between Los Angeles and New York City.
