Bret Easton Ellis writes dark satirical fiction about wealth, status, consumer culture and emotionally detached characters, often in Los Angeles or New York. Less Than Zero follows a college student returning to affluent Los Angeles friends whose lives revolve around parties, drugs and increasingly disturbing behaviour. American Psycho is narrated by investment banker Patrick Bateman, whose obsessive attention to brands, restaurants and social rank sits beside graphic fantasies or acts of violence, making the reliability of his account part of the reading problem. The Rules of Attraction shifts among students at a fictional New England college through multiple first-person voices. Ellis's fiction is cold, repetitive and deliberately abrasive, fitting transgressive fiction, social satire and dark contemporary literary fiction. Read more Less
