Articoli correlati a Less Than Zero
People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. And so begins the tale of Clay, an eighteen-year-old student returning home to LA for the Christmas vacation. Troublingly, his holiday rapidly becomes a dizzying spiral of desperation, filled with relentless drinking in louche bars and glamorous nightclubs, wild, drug-fuelled parties, and dispassionate sexual encounters in the rich suburban homes of affluent America. A fierce coming-of-age story about the casual nihilism that comes with youth and money in a world where people are truly afraid to merge, Less Than Zero is morally barren, ethically bereft, and tinged with the often violent but always inexorable consequences of such depravity. `One of the most disturbing novels I've read in a long time.

A killer - sexy, sassy, sad' Village Voice `Never has Hollywood's version of success looked so frightening in a piece of contemporary literature' Newsday `Ellis captures the tiresome "kool" and laid-back cadences of this group with deadening precision' Vogue `An extraordinarily accomplished first novel' New Yorker
