Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The timeless classic from the acclaimed author of American Psycho about the lost generation of 1980s Los Angeles who experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. * The basis for the cult-classic film "Possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality." --The New York TimesThey live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope. When Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college, he re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin.
Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.
American Psycho, Glamorama, The Informers, Less Than Zero, Lunar Park, and The Laws of Attraction are among Bret Easton Ellis' other works. Twenty-seven languages have been used to translate his work. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
