Riassunto

Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho is a cult classic, adapted into a film starring Christian Bale. Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street; he is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst nightmare - American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront. American Psycho is one of the most controversial and talked-about novels of all time - a multimillion-copy bestseller hailed as a modern classic.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

American Psycho is a beautifully controlled, careful, important novel . . . The novelist’s function is to keep a running tag on the progress of the culture; and he’s done it brilliantly . . . A seminal book. (Fay Weldon Washington Post)

The first novel to come along in years that takes on deep and Dostoyevskian themes . . . Ellis is showing older authors where the hands have come to on the clock. (Norman Mailer Vanity Fair)

Serious, clever and shatteringly effective . . . For its savagely coherent picture of a society lethally addicted to blandness, it should be judged by the highest standards. (Sunday Times)

Descrizione del libro:

An international bestseller and true modern classic, American Psycho is a violent portrayal of the darkest side of human nature.
