Glamorama

Fiction
"Glamorama does for literature what Nirvana did for rock and roll [It] is perfectly of our time and the novel of the 1990s a must read."
—The Seattle Times
Manhattan in the 1990s: The center of the world or the vortex of some other universe. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. He's having a relationship with one beautiful model and an affair with another. And now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he has in mind.

"Compelling and scary take[s] our peculiar obsession with celebrity and literally blow[s] it to pieces. A bonfire of the vanities? more like a Semtex attack on our superficialities." —The Face. London
"One of the passing delights of Glamorama is to imagine how scholars of postmodern fiction will explain it a century hence Ellis invents a fresh hell on every page [and] through all this mayhem the style remains mysteriously elegant." —The New Yorker Vissza
