| Synopsis In Bret Easton Ellis's controversial 1989 novel, Patrick Bateman is a sadistic madman who believes that everything (including people) is a commodity designed for his personal gratification. His graphically described acts of torture and murder fail to affect him--and also fail to satisfy him. The epitome of the consumer culture of the 1980s, Bateman is a monstrous icon of an empty and nihilistic world.
Publisher's Note The controversial novel about a handsome serial killer who moves among the young and trendy in 1980s New York. Vintage is rushing to put out the controversial book that everyone's talking about--especially after Simon & Schuster decided at the last minute not to publish it. Described by Publishers Weekly as "a grisly, gritty gross-out (about) the cool yuppie lifestyle of Patrick Bateman, 26, whose avocation is torturing and dismembering his female victims and festooning his apartment with their body parts", this new book by the author of Less Than Zero is sure to cause a stir. | See an error?
