<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of "Less Than Zero" comes a work that confounds one expectation after another, passing through comedy and mounting psychological and supernatural horror toward an astonishing resolution. It's a novel about love and loss, fathers and sons, in what is surely the most original and moving novel of an extraordinary career.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Bret Ellis, the narrator of <i>Lunar Park, </i>is the bestselling writer whose first novel <i>Less Than Zero</i> catapulted him to international stardom while he was still in college. In the years that followed he found himself adrift in a world of wealth, drugs, and fame, as well as dealing with the unexpected death of his abusive father. After a decade of decadence a chance for salvation arrives; the chance to reconnect with an actress he was once involved with, and their son. But almost immediately his new life is threatened by a freak sequence of events and a bizarre series of murders that all seem to connect to Ellis's past. His attempts to save his new world from his own demons makes <i>Lunar Park</i> Ellis's most suspenseful novel.</p><p> </p><p>In this chilling tale reality, memoir, and fantasy combine to create not only a fascinating version of this most controversial writer but also a deeply moving novel about love and loss, parents and children, and ultimately forgiveness.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p/>Addictive. . . .

A phantasmagoria of love and loss, a fusion of hallucination and wisdom.-<i>The New York Times</i> <p/> <p/>"The deftness with which Ellis handles an entertaining and suspenseful plot, as well as a sophisticated play between truth and fiction, real selves and imagined selves, is impressive. <i>Lunar Park </i>is not only enjoyable and consuming, but insightful."-<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/> <p/>"John Cheever writes <i>The Shining</i>. . . . A strange triumph. . . . Here is a book that progresses from darkness and banality to light and epiphany with surprising strength and sureness."-Stephen King, <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/> <p/>"A mesmerizing read. . . . Genuinely frightening. . . . <i>Lunar Park</i> is a story about the momentous pain parents inflict on their children. . . . The worst violence is internal and emotional, and in its beautiful closing pages, this rich, deceptively complex novel argues that's the most damaging violence of all."-<i>The Miami Herald</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>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>.
