<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - In this modern classic, the acclaimed </b><i><b>New York Times</b></i><b> bestselling author explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other.</b> <p/>Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront. <p/>"A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing, which has large elements of Jane Austen at her vitriolic best. An important book." --Katherine Dunn, bestselling author of <i>Geek Love</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Bret Easton Ellis is a very, very good writer [and] <b>American Psycho</b> is a beautifully controlled, careful, important novel.... The novelist's function is to keep a running tag on the progress of culture; and he's done it brilliantly.... A seminal book." --Fay Weldon, <i>The Washington Post</i> <p/> "A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing, which has large elements of Jane Austen at her vitriolic best. An important book." --Katherine Dunn, bestselling author of <i>Geek Love</i> <p/> "A great novel. What Emerson said about genius, that it's the return of one's rejected thoughts with an alienated majesty, holds true for <b>American Psycho</b>.... There is a fever to the life of this book that is, in my reading, unknown in American literature." --Michael Tolkin <p/> "The first novel to come along in years that takes on deep and Dostoyevskian themes.... [Ellis] is showing older authors where the hands come to on the clock." --Norman Mailer, <i>Vanity Fair</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bret Easton Ellis is the author of <i>Less Than Zero</i>, <i>The Rules of Attraction</i>, <i>American Psycho</i>, <i>The Informers, Glamorama</i>, <i>Lunar Park</i>, and <i>Imperial Bedrooms</i>.
