PICADOR
AMERICAN PSYCHO by BRET EASTON ELLIS
Five years ago Less Than Zero caused a sensation. Now Bret Easton Ellis has done it again Wii^iAmerican Psycho, a bleak, bitter and aversive novel about a world we all recognise but do not wish to face.
Patrick Bateman is 26, handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. He works on Wall Street by day earning a fortune. At night he spends it in ways we cannot begin to understand. In fictionalising a character of such obvious hypocrisy Bret Easton Ellis takes us on a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst ni^tmsives. American Psycho is an explosive novel which brilliantly exposes American culture today.
American Psycho is black comedy, a disturbing portrait of a madman, a subtle send-up of the blatant behaviour of the '80s - and a grotesque nightmare of murder and insanity.
'It's a very disturbing book, but the author is writing from the deepest, purest motives'

JOE MCGINNISS author of FATAL VISION
'Although the book contains horrifying scenes, they must be read in the context of the book as a whole; the horror does not lie in the novel itself, but in the society it reflects. This book is not pleasure reading, but neither is it pornography. It is a serious novel that comments on a society that has become inured to suffering'
NORA RAWLINSON, LIBRARYJOURNAL
'He has forced us to look at intolerable material, and so few novels try for that much anymore'
