Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Own it, snowflakes: you've lost everything you claim to hold dear. White is Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction. Already the bad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho, Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here he escalates his admonishment of received truths as expressed by today's version of "the left." Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary and media communities cringe, as he takes aim at the relentless anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporate censorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, "woke" cultural watchdogs, the obfuscation of ideals once both cherished and clear, and the fugue state of American democracy. In a young century marked by hysterical correctness and obsessive fervency on both sides of an aisle that's taken on the scale of the Grand Canyon, White is a clarion call for freedom of speech and artistic freedom. "The central tension in Ellis's art—or his life, for that matter—is that while [his] aesthetic is the cool reserve of his native California, detachment over ideology, he can't stop generating heat.... He's hard-wired to break furniture."—Karen Heller, The Washington Post "Sweating with rage . . . humming with paranoia."—Anna Leszkiewicz, The Guardian "Snowflakes on both coasts in withdrawal from Rachel Maddow's nightly Kremlinology lesson can purchase a whole book to inspire paroxysms of rage . . . a veritable thirst trap for the easily microaggressed. It's all here. Rants about Trump derangement syndrome; MSNBC; #MeToo; safe spaces."—Bari Weiss, The New York Times Look for Bret Easton Ellis’s new novel, The Shards, coming in January.

Less Than Zero

By: Bret Easton Ellis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The timeless classic from the acclaimed author of American Psycho about the lost generation of 1980s Los Angeles who experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. • The basis for the cult-classic film "Possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality." —The New York Times They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope. When Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college, he re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.

The Shards

Bret Easton Ellis. The Sunday Times Bestselling New Novel from the Author of AMERICAN PSYCHO

By: Bret Easton Ellis

The Sunday Times Bestseller 'A full-spectrum triumph' Guardian A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends – or his own mind – to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret's life at 17 – sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage.

The Shards

A novel

By: Bret Easton Ellis

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A novel of sensational literary and psychological suspense from the best-selling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged high school friends in a vibrantly fictionalized 1980s Los Angeles as a serial killer strikes across the city “A thrilling page turner from Ellis, who revisits the world that made him a literary star with a stylish scary new story that doesn't disappoint.” –Town & Country Bret Easton Ellis’s masterful new novel is a story about the end of innocence, and the perilous passage from adolescence into adulthood, set in a vibrantly fictionalized Los Angeles in 1981 as a serial killer begins targeting teenagers throughout the city. Seventeen-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them—and Bret in particular—with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. The coincidences are uncanny, but they are also filtered through the imagination of a teenager whose gifts for constructing narrative from the filaments of his own life are about to make him one of the most explosive literary sensations of his generation. Can he trust his friends—or his own mind—to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, he spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between the Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Set against the intensely vivid and nostalgic backdrop of pre-Less Than Zero L.A., The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction, the real and the imagined, that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret’s life at seventeen—sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting, and often darkly funny, The Shards is Ellis at his inimitable best.

The Rules of Attraction

By: Bret Easton Ellis

From the New York Times bestselling author or Less Than Zero and American Psycho—a startlingly funny, kaleidoscopic novel about three students at a small, affluent liberal-arts college in New England with no plans for the future—or even the present—who become entangled in a romantic triangle. • “An extraordinary writer.” —LA Weekly Bret Easton Ellis trains his incisive gaze on the kids at self-consciously bohemian Camden College and treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and compassion while exposing the moral vacuum at the center of their lives. Lauren changes boyfriends every time she changes majors and still pines for Victor who split for Europe months ago and she might or might not be writing anonymous love letter to ambivalent, hard-drinking Sean, a hopeless romantic who only has eyes for Lauren, even if he ends up in bed with half the campus, and Paul, Lauren's ex, forthrightly bisexual and whose passion masks a shrewd pragmatism. They waste time getting wasted, race from Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours to Dressed To Get Screwed parties to drinks at The Edge of the World or The Graveyard. The Rules of Attraction is a poignant, hilarious take on the death of romance. The basis for the major motion picture starring James Van Der Beek, Shannyn Sossamon, Jessica Biel, and Kate Bosworth. Look for Bret Easton Ellis’s new novel, The Shards!

Glamorama

By: Bret Easton Ellis

The New York Times bestselling author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero delivers a gripping and brilliant dissection of our celebrity obsessed culture. • “Arguably the novel of the 1990’s…Should establish Ellis as the most ambitious and fearless writer of his generation…a must read.” —The Seattle Times Set in 90s Manhattan, Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. He's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another on the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York City history. And now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind. With the same deft satire and savage wit he has brought to his other fiction, Bret Ellis gets beyond the facade and introduces us, unsparingly, to what we always feared was behind it. Glamorama shows us a shadowy looking-glass reality, the juncture where fame and fashion and terror and mayhem meet and then begin to resemble the familiar surface of our lives.

25 Jahre nach »Unter Null« zeigt Bret Easton Ellis in diesem Roman, wie die hedonistische Gesellschaft der Achtziger heute lebt – und er entdeckt Fürchterliches: Es hat sich kaum etwas geändert ... Fünfundzwanzig Jahre war Clay, der schon in Ellis' Debütroman Unter Null eine Hauptrolle spielt, nicht mehr in Los Angeles, doch jetzt muss er zurück in die Stadt seiner Kindheit und Jugend, um einen neuen Film zu promoten. Gleich auf der ersten Party trifft er, der gefeierte Drehbuchautor, auf seine alten Freunde: seine Ex-Freundin Blair, die mit Trent eine nicht sehr glückliche Ehe führt und die damalige Trennung offensichtlich immer noch nicht verdaut hat, den Exdealer Rip, der nach zahlreichen Faceliftings bis zur Unkenntlichkeit entstellt ist, und auf Julian, der nach mehreren Entziehungskuren endlich clean scheint. Keiner freut sich so recht, dass Clay wieder auftaucht, und sehr schnell zeigt sich, dass hinter der freundlichen Fassade alle einander zutiefst misstrauen: Die alten Geschichten und Ressentiments verbinden sich mit neuen Verdachtsmomenten zu einer dichten Atmosphäre der Paranoia und Angst.

Tagsüber sitzt er in seinem Büro in der Wall Street und vergrößert seinen Reichtum. Seine Nächte hingegen verbringt er auf unfassbare Weise. Er ist ein Serienmörder und lebt seinen ganz eigenen amerikanischen Traum. »American Psycho läuft drohend, grollend wie ein Unwetter an, und plötzlich schlägt der grausame Blitz ein: Die Banalität des Schrecklichen, die wir verdrängen wollen, trifft uns und zwingt uns, das Unerträgliche wahrzunehmen: die Oberflächlichkeit, die Brutalität, mit der wir uns abfinden. In einer Medienwelt, die jedes Thema lächelnd in drei Minuten abhandelt –vom Holocaust über die Salatbar zum Krieg – ist dieses Buch ein Schuss ins Herz, Picassos Guernica vergleichbar.« Elke Heidenreich

The Informers

By: Bret Easton Ellis

From the New York Times bestselling author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero comes a nihilistic novel set in the early eighties that portrays a chilling descent into the abyss beneath L.A.'s gorgeous surfaces. • “Skillfully accomplishes its goal of depicting a modern moral wasteland…. Arguably Ellis's best.” —The Boston Globe The basis of the major motion picture starring Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke, The Informers is a seductive and chillingly nihilistic novel, in which Bret Easton Ellis, returns to Los Angeles, the city whose moral badlands he portrayed so unforgettably in Less Than Zero. This time is the early eighties. The characters go to the same schools and eat at the same restaurants. Their voices enfold us as seamlessly as those of DJs heard over a car radio. They have sex with the same boys and girls and buy from the same dealers. In short, they are connected in the only way people can be in that city. Dirk sees his best friend killed in a desert car wreck, then rifles through his pockets for a last joint before the ambulance comes. Cheryl, a wannabe newscaster, chides her future stepdaughter, “You're tan but you don't look happy.” Jamie is a clubland carnivore with a taste for human blood.

Moins que zéro

By: Bret Easton Ellis

Moins que zéro n'a rien d'un manifeste. C'est un roman de Los Angeles, ville dure, ville sans âme. " On peut disparaître ici sans même s'en apercevoir ", écrit Bret Easton Ellis. L'auteur (qui a seulement vingt ans) ne cherche d'ailleurs pas à nous dire autre chose que ce vide, ce sentiment d'une existence privée de sens. Pour autant, son récit ne tourne pas en rond. Il y a, au contraire, chez Bret Easton Ellis une extraordinaire puissance de la narration. Il nous ébranle ce petit jeune homme. Ses références, il ne faut pas aller les chercher en littérature mais plutôt du côté du rock, ce reflet clinquant de notre époque. A l'image de cette musique, Ellis est spontané, violent et son expression dépouillée. Le roman des années est né. Ouf ! il était temps.

Bret Easton Ellis' meisterhafter neuer Roman erzählt eine traumatische Geschichte: Während seiner eigenen Schulzeit war ein Serienmörder in L.A. eine Bedrohung für die Jugendlichen. Der siebzehnjährige Bret ist in der Oberstufe der exklusiven Buckley Prep School, als ein neuer Schüler auftaucht. Robert Mallory ist intelligent, gutaussehend und charismatisch und zieht Bret magisch an.

Lunar Park

Roman

By: Bret Easton Ellis

»Ein trickreich inszeniertes Spiel mit dem eigenen Lebenslauf« Der Spiegel. Zunächst glaubt man, eine Autobiografie in den Händen zu halten: Autor und Protagonist Bret Easton Ellis erzählt von seinen Romanen, von den Menschen, die in seinem Leben eine Rolle spielten, von Beziehungen und Affären und von seiner Familie, vor allem von seinem unerträglichen Vater. Bret heiratet Jayne und zieht mit ihr und den beiden Kindern in einen Vorort, um endlich ein richtiges Familien-leben zu führen. Doch das Idyll wird gestört, als seltsame Dinge geschehen und sich Realität und Fiktion vermischen: ein Spielzeug seiner Tochter beginnt ein Eigenleben zu führen, Jungen verschwinden aus der Nachbarschaft und die Farbe des Hauses blättert ab. Ist das alles auf Ellis' kranke Fantasie zurückzuführen, oder passiert es wirklich? Aus dem Familienroman wird ein Horrorszenario, das man gleichzeitig nicht ernst nehmen kann. Ein großartiges Spiel um Schein und Sein, eine bizarre Selbstspiegelung, die bewusst aufs Glatteis führen will und sich jeglicher Kategorisierung verweigert.

Ils ont entre 20 et 50 ans ; ce sont des producteurs, de riches épouses délaissées, des étudiants blasés, des stars du rock, des dealers, des mannequins, des vedettes de la télévision, des paumés, des criminels, et... des vampires. Ils vivent à Los Angeles dans les années 80 et, dans cet univers saturé d'argent, de voitures, de drogue et de sexe, tous souffrent de la même maladie : la mort de l'âme. En treize tranches de vie racontées chacune par un narrateur différent, Bret Easton Ellis fait le portrait au vitriol d'une cité et d'une époque. Avec un humour féroce - et une profonde sensibilité -, il montre l'errance de ces êtres luttant contre le sentiment de leur propre inutilité et s'efforçant d'avancer dans un monde dépourvu de toute cohérence. Après American Psycho, qui avait fait l'objet, dans le monde entier, d'un scandale - et d'un succès - retentissants, Bret Easton Ellis continue de mettre au jour les sombres aspects de la société américaine grâce à un talent particulièrement incisif.

American Psycho

By: Ellis Bret Easton

Una dintre cele mai controversate cărți apărute în America, roman-cult al anilor ’90, American Psycho a declanșat dispute aprinse. Patrick Bateman, personajul principal al romanului, este un tânăr frumos, educat, inteligent. Ziua lucrează pe Wall Street, sporind averea deja considerabilă a familiei lui, iar noaptea se ocupă cu lucruri care ne înspăimântă pe noi, oamenii normali. Acțiunea este plasată într-o lume (Manhattan) și într-o epocă (anii ’80) în care bogații devin tot mai bogați, iar săracii și nebunii ajung pe străzi cu zecile de mii. Iată de ce Bateman, care este cu adevărat el însuși numai atunci când torturează și ucide, se transformă în profetul unei orori apocaliptice. American Psycho a fost ecranizat în anul 2000, cu Christian Bale și Willem Dafoe în rolurile principale.
