Bret Easton Ellis was born in Los Angeles, California. He is an American novelist, screenwriter, and short story writer. His works have been translated into 27 languages. He is a self-proclaimed satirist, whose trademark technique, as a writer, is the expression of extreme acts and opinions in an affectless style.
