LRB 1 December 2005 Adam Phillips print layout tell a friend Remember me Adam Phillips Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis Bret Easton Ellis has always been interested in the ways in which people don’t pay attention, and in the cost of attention when it is paid. In the comédie humaine he has been writing since 1985, when his first novel, Less than Zero , was published, his characters, who recur throughout the books, are as torpid and enervated as Balzac’s are driven and determined. Balzac’s heroes and heroines – and indeed his minor characters – always want to make their presence felt; hope makes them demonic. Ellis’s characters, by contrast, are always trying to absent themselves from their own and other people’s lives. They are bizarre and clever and deadpan witty, but these are the ways they have of curing themselves of hope, of nipping it in the bud. American Psycho (1991), in many ways Ellis’s subtlest novel, begins with the words ‘Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here,’ ‘scrawled in blood-red lettering on the side of the Chemical Bank’.

Multimedia Search: Books from the August 23, 2005 edition A star of 1980s fiction tries for a comeback In its last pages, Bret Easton Ellis's latest novel shows him at his best. But some of the rest may horrify. By Yvonne Zipp Most writers have, at one time or another, been asked the dreaded question: "Is so-and-so supposed to be you?" Few, though, have faced the question as relentlessly as has Bret Easton Ellis. Heck, people assumed he was writing about himself even when his main character was one of the creepier serial killers to stalk modern fiction. After 20 years of this, it's perhaps not surprising that Ellis finally gave up and just named his main character after himself. (You've got to admit, the name does roll off the tongue.)

What's this? Ellis isn't the first writer to look in the mirror and find a hero (or antihero) staring back at him. Philip Roth traded in his Zuckerman alter ego for one named "Philip Roth" in several books - and then threw in an impostor for good measure in "Operation Shylock." Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman wrote himself and his writer's block, and a fictional twin into 2002's "Adaptation." And Kinky Friedman, country singer and Texas gubernatorial candidate, has penned 17 mysteries starring a country singer named Kinky Friedman. (Ellis also indulges in a second alter ego, "the writer," who likes to point out nifty touches to the main character, "Bret." Still following me?)

Bret Easton Ellis - 1964 Los Angeles By Melissa McGrane San Pedro High School in San Pedro, California I. Biography Bret Easton Ellis was born in Los Angeles, California on March 7, 1964. As the son of Robert Martin Ellis, a real estate investment analyst, and Dale Ellis, a housewife, this young author grew up amid the divorce of his mother and alcoholic father. Besides writing a few books at the age of sixteen, Ellis played the keyboards for various new wave groups and adapted well to the LA punk scene of the early 1980s—a time period which he used for the setting of several of his books. Ellis's first published novel, Less Than Zero (1985), a satire of the wealthy youth of Los Angeles, supposedly saved him from falling into depression and exhibited his continuous dissatisfaction with the upper-middle class society of America. Although this novel was rumored to be autobiographical, Ellis claimed that he was writing not of himself but of "a person that [he] found morally bankrupt"(Write Stuff Interviews, 1994). Nevertheless, Ellis's works disclose an ironic and satirical fixation on a culture that revolves its ethics around wealth and social status. After the publication of Less Than Zero , Ellis escaped LA and became a student at Bennington College at Vermont. He now lives in New York City, where he developed the theme for his gruesome and controversial novel

The following entry provides an overview of Ellis's career through 1998. For further information on his life and works, see CLC , Volumes 39 and 71. INTRODUCTION Brett Easton Ellis has been called the voice of a new generation by some critics, and accused by others as being "superficial." He leaves few readers indifferent to his work. Critics compare Ellis's frank representations of rich but desensitized young Americans to the works of authors Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Ellis's novels also share affinities with the work of Raymond Chandler and Joan Didion, the latter an author Ellis acknowledges as an important influence. Music-video and film aesthetics also mark Ellis's style and themes. American Psycho (1991), arguably his most notorious work, has been the subject of extended critical discussion and the object of public scorn for its graphic rendering of violence against women. Ellis has enjoyed commercial success, but the artistic and sociological value of his work is a source of ongoing debate.

Web Bret Easton Ellis' 'The Informers' Getting Adapted Posted May 11th 2007 12:01PM by Christopher Campbell Filed under: Comedy Drama I'm still disappointed that we will never get to see Glitterati , the semi-spin-off of The Rules of Attraction , which does exist but which writer-director Roger Avary claims will never be released to the public. I still have hope that Avary will eventually get his Glamorama adaptation off the ground Kip Pardue deserves the work. But while I wait for Avary to stop writing bad Silent Hill films, I will have to get hyped up for another Bret Easton Ellis adaptation: The Informers . Based on the author's 1995 collection of interrelated vignettes, the film is the first to be adapted by Ellis himself (with help from documentarian Nicholas Jarecki , who was originally set to direct and is also a producer). As can be expected of Ellis' work, the film will follow a number of amoral characters, including a pop star, a Hollywood player and a vampire. The criss-crossing stories are set in Los Angeles in 1983, though it is possible the adaptation like Rules could be modernized.

The Pen is Mightier: Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho Rachel Rom¡n W ords hold a vast amount of power. If used irresponsibly, they can offend and wound the reader. They can even ruin a writer’s reputation. That threat causes some authors to write with restraint, careful not to offend anyone. There is a fine line between offensive prose and words that are appropriate to the plot and characters. Many words did not originate as offensive. For example, the word “nigger” was derived from the word “negro” or “niger,” which means “black.” When it first appeared in literature, it was not used in a derogatory manner. However, it is now considered one of the most offensive words in the English language; therefore, writers can no longer use it neutrally. There must be intent when writing “nigger,” as well as other terms that are considered racist and bigoted, such as “faggot” and “spic.” The book American Psycho is one example of literature that has drawn a lot of controversy over its use of language. In the book, author Bret Easton Ellis uses highly offensive terms, such as “nigger” and “faggot,” juxtaposed with scenes of graphic violence to portray a message about the culture of 1980s America. The book’s narrator, Patrick Bateman, tortures, kills, and insults various ethnic groups, as well as homosexuals and women. After American Psycho ’s publication, Ellis, a white, bisexual man, received death threats and hate mail. Sales and marketing for the book were restricted in Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. Feminists, including Gloria Steinem, opposed the release of

Bret Easton Ellis whose latest novel, Glamorama, has predictably stirred up critics talks about the line between life and art by Harvey Blume February 10, 1999 W hen Bret Easton Ellis writes a book, the literary event can be subsumed by the media circus. In his new novel, Glamorama, Ellis focuses on a milieu of people seduced by social and material surfaces. The book follows Victor Ward, a mean-spirited New York model, as he stretches his dalliances and finances past the breaking point, along the way reciting the names of celebrities to himself like a rosary. When his life becomes fully unstrung, Victor takes refuge among a group of high-fashion models, who turn out to be terrorists led by supermodel Bobby Hughes. Victor begins to dissociate; he's never sure whether the explosions to follow are genuine or part of an ongoing movie. For that matter, he no longer can tell whether his life is his own or part of an obscure but spreading media event. Will We Survive? (January 1999) Our environmental future looks bleak. What can we do about it? Mark Hertsgaard, author of Earth Odyssey

ABOUT Last Published: January 23, 2008 Volume 111 Issue 18 : Tuesday, April 9, 1991 PDF of This Issue American Psycho more than it seems Bret Easton Ellis has his talents as a writer, there can be little doubt. He has an ear for dialogue, a flair for the unusual, and a scathingly sarcastic pen. What he doesn't have is the ability to create a structured plot or realistic and rounded characters. This never stopped anyone before, mind you; generations of mediocre writers have gotten by on talents equal to those of Ellis. However, Ellis himself has other plans. He wants to be noticed. He wants to be celebrated. Ellis has written a book called American Psycho . His past two novels, Less Than Zero and The Rules Of Attraction , were very much novels about the 1980s and the insanity of that decade. To a degree, American Psycho continues that tradition. What sets it apart is the subject matter. The lead character in American Psycho is a Wall Street trader who likes to kill people. There is no method, no real explanation for this tiny character flaw. He just enjoys it.

Z Bret Easton Ellis Writer Novelist Bret Easton Ellis rocketed to fame with his first book, 1985's Less Than Zero , published while Ellis was a student at Vermont's Bennington College (his fellow students included future literature stars Donna Tartt and Jonathan Lethem ). The book and the 1987 movie version struck a chord with an American public ready to learn about rich and pretty drug users having sex. The publicity and hype surrounding the book put Ellis in the spotlight, and the subsequent focus on his celebrity has made it difficult for critics to separate the writer from his work. Not a prolific author, Ellis nonetheless maintains a respectable career; a new novel is still an event guaranteed to earn reviews from "is he really that good?" to "he really is that good." His other novels include The Rules of Attraction American Psycho Glamorama (1998) and Lunar Park (2005). He has also published a collection of connected stories
