About this deal

Bateman's episodes of schizophrenia also shows clear signs on how he copes with being an affluent person living in a superficial world, fashioned on consumerism. The novel’s endless parade of explicit, stomach-churning, pornographic, boundary-pushing violence against animals, homeless people, and young women makes it a struggle to finish, especially for delicate souls like myself. Picador has established a reputation for literary fiction with a broad commercial appeal, groundbreaking non-fiction, (particularly, reportage, literary biography and memoir) and a formidable poetry list, which has consistently won many of the major prizes. Credulity might be tested when he tells us about dragging Owen's body in a sleeping bag past the doorman and into the street, "where briefly I run into Arthur Crystal and Kitty Martin, who've just had dinner at Café Luxembourg". During the trial of Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo, a copy was discovered in Bernardo's bedroom.

The suit gives off an impression that he’s a businessman, and the well themed colours tell us of his style. There are telling, novelistic details that succinctly and indelibly capture the world and people they’re describing. Fittingly, while Bateman’s peers may love Les Miserables , they treat the contemporary descendants of the musical’s subjects with abuse and disdain, and Bateman, of course, treats them much worse, with murderous barbarity.but, again, this does not mean that it is the author's job (or the creator of 'good art') to proceed along those lines. Or maybe yeah, Bret Easton Ellis could be a raging misogynist, but that's really not the point I took from the book.

The book was named the 53rd most banned book from 1990-1999 by the American Library Association, and its sale and marketing in Germany was restricted from 1995 to 2000. What makes Bret Easton Ellis’ lurid controversy magnet such a strange, tricky proposition is that its dreariness feels largely intentional. The cashpoint machines at which he likes to stop to withdraw needlessly large sums start flashing non-standard messages at him.

The Los Angeles Times 's review [16]—"the one good review in the national press", he said—resulted in "a three-page letter section of all these people canceling their subscriptions".

Elizabeth – a dinner date of Bateman's, drugged and coerced into having sex with "Christie" before being violently murdered. I’ve been rated and reviewed since I became a published author at the age of twenty-one, and I’ve grown entirely comfortable in being both liked and disliked, adored and despised.

now, i don't really wanna defend the book against these charges; more fun to wonder what those who view american psycho as woman-hating or anti-feminist make of the dozens (hundreds? Released as a film in 2000, the movie recreation of the book depicts more of an underlying criticism of white-collar, high-society beings forced to adapt to everyday life, as portrayed by actor Christian Bale.
