Bret Easton Ellis Quotes
I had no idea that 'Less Than Zero' was going to be read by anyone outside of Los Angeles, and it's - believe me, as the writer of the book I'm somewhat amused and intrigued by the idea that 25 years later it's still out and people are still reading it.

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. Though Ellis made his debut at 21 with the controversial 1985 bestseller Less Than Zero, a zeitgeist novel about wealthy amoral young people in Los Angeles, the work he is most known for is his third novel, 1991's American Psycho. In 2010, Ellis released Imperial Bedrooms, the sequel to his début novel.
