Synopsis:

Bret Easton Ellis's first novel was a publishing sensation when it was published in 1985. The story of disaffected young people in the cold and amoral pop-culture world of Los Angeles, it is told from the point of view of Clay, who begins to question the emptiness of his life. LESS THAN ZERO was published when Ellis was 21 and still in college; inevitably, it was compared to Jay Mc Inerney's New York equivalent, BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY.

Author Bio:

Bret Easton Ellis published his first novel LESS THAN ZERO when he was 21 and still an undergraduate at Bennington College. The novel revolved around a young man who returns from college to Los Angeles and becomes disheartened by the moral vacuousness of his friends. Themes of apathy, disillusionment, and depravity would continue in his subsequent novels, notably AMERICAN PSYCHO, the story of a psychopathic yuppie murderer, which was made into a film starring Christian Bale. Ellis is also known for using reoccurring characters in his novels, with minor characters in one novel appearing as the protagonist of another. Born in Los Angeles, his father abandoned the family when Ellis was six. He now lives in New York City.
