In Glamorama, Bret Easton Ellis shows us a shadowy looking-glass world, the juncture where fame and fashion, terror and mayhem meet and then begin to resemble the familiar surface of our lives. The centre of the world: 1990s Manhattan. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. On the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York history, he's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another. Now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind...

The modern classic, the basis of a Broadway musical, and major motion picture from Lion's Gate Films starring Christian Bale, Chloe Sevigny, Jared Leto, and Reese Witherspoon, and directed by Mary Harron. In American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other. Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
Модель:
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 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'.

Clay is a successful screenwriter, middle-aged and disaffected; he's in LA to cast his new movie. However, this trip is anything other than professional, and he's soon drifting through a louche and long-familiar circle - a world largely populated by the band of infamous teenagers first introduced in Bret Easton Ellis's first novel Less Than Zero. After a meeting with a gorgeous but talentless actress determined to win a role in his movie, Clay finds himself connected with Kelly Montrose, a producer whose gruesomely violent death is suddenly very much the talk of the town. Imperial Bedrooms follows Clay as his debauched reverie is interrupted by a violent plot for revenge and his seemingly endless proclivity for betrayal and exploitation looks set to land him somewhere darker and more ominous than ever before.
Модель:
Patrick Bateman sieht gut aus, ist gut erzogen und intelligent. Tagsuber sitzt er in seinem Buro in der Wall Street und vergro?ert seinen Reichtum. Seine Nachte hingegen verbringt er auf unfassbare Weise. Er ist ein Serienmorder und lebt seinen ganz eigenen amerikanischen Traum.

The Informers is a collection of short stories with intertwining characters, from the author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero, Bret Easton Ellis. Their voices enfold us as seamlessly as those of DJs heard over a car radio. The characters go to the same schools. They eat at the same restaurants. They have sex with the same boys and girls. They buy from the same dealers. Fusing voices into an intense, impressionistic narrative that blurs genders, generations and even identities, these stories capture the lives of a group of people, connected in the way only people in L.A. can be - suffering from nothing less than the death of the soul.

L'apocalypse, serait-ce donc l'edition numerique, ou comme dans Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury, la temperature a laquelle le papier se consume ? Frederic Beigbeder sauve ici du brasier les 100 ?uvres qu'il souhaite conserver au XXIe siecle, sous la forme d'un hit-parade intime. C'est un classement totalement personnel, egotiste, joyeux, inattendu, parfois classique (Andre Gide, Fitzgerald, Paul Jean Toulet, Salinger et d'autres grands), souvent surprenant (Patrick Besson, Bret Easton Ellis, Regis Jauffret, Simon Liberati, Gabriel Matzneff, et d'autres perturbateurs). Avec ce manifeste, c'est le Beigbeder livresque que nous decouvrons, en meme temps qu'une autobiographie en fragments, un autoportrait en lecteur. Son gout est sur, il aime cette litterature de tetes brulees, de fous, furieux, desesperes, romantiques, d’enfants eternels, des joueurs, des alcooliques, des dopes celestes. Vincent Jaury, Transfuge.
