Bret Easton Ellis: American Genius (Part 2: "Less Than Zero")

Literary Guise: A Book Club for Modern Men

Disappear here. (Into our podcast talking about one of the seminal works of the 1980s, Bret Easton Ellis's disaffected debut novel about an LA populated by narcissists and drug-induced zombies.) We will also touch a little bit on its sequel, 2010's "Imperial Bedrooms," where we learn the characters' futures are all far sadder than we ever could have imagined. Is this a novel about vain privilege, or is it a novel slyly trying to dismantle privilege? Could it be both? Join us for this discussion and more in part 2/4 of our exploration on the career of Bret Easton Ellis.
