Synopsis
Bret Easton Ellis's first novel was a publishing sensation when it was published in 1985. The story of disaffected young people in the cold and amoral pop-culture world of Los Angeles, it is told from the point of view of Clay, who begins to question the emptiness of his life. LESS THAN ZERO was published when Ellis was 21 and still in college; inevitably, it was compared to Jay Mc Inerney's New York equivalent, BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY.

Publisher's Note
Clay comes home on break from his East Coast college to a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where the natives drive Porsches, dine at Spago, and gobble their Quaaludes from Pez dispensers. He can't decide whether he and his girlfriend are still together--or whether he should tell her when he makes up his mind. He can't get in touch with his childhood friend Julian, who's careening into hustling and heroin. And he isn't sure whether he should try to save Julian or join him on the way down.

Industry Reviews
"[T]he implications of 'Less Than Zero' cannot be ignored by any serious novelist."
Salon - Jonathan Keats (01/22/1999)
