Less Than Zero

fullDescription

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.
Look for Bret Easton Ellis’s new novel, The Shards!

     "One of the most disturbing novels I've read in a long time. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality."

2. • premium: False
   • source: The Washington Post
   • content: "Bret Easton Ellis . . . is an extremely traditional and very serious American novelist. He is the model of literary filial piety, counting among his parents Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nathanael West, and Joan Didion."

   • content: "Never has Hollywood's version of success looked so frightening in a piece of contemporary literature."
4. • premium: False
   • source: The Village Voice
   • content: "Remarkable. A killer--sexy, sassy, and sad. . . . It's a teenage slice-of-death novel, no holds barred. The feel of it hits where it hurts."
5. • premium: True

   • content:

     June 1, 1986
     Written when the author was 20, this first novel tells the story of Clay, a New Hampshire college student who returns home to Los Angeles for Christmas vacation. Vignettes show Clay and his friends aimlessly traveling from party to party, doing drugs, having sex with one another. PW noted that Ellis "brilliantly conveys this crowd's delirium as well as the lack of fulfillment they cannot remedy.''
