American Psycho

Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street; he is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to a head-on collision with America`s greatest dream — and its worst nightmare — American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront. `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 `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` Norman Mailer, Vanity Fair `Serious, clever and shatteringly effective …For its savagely coherent picture of a society lethally addicted to blandness, it should be judged by the highest standards` Sunday Times
