"American Psycho"
Set in 1980s Manhattan, young and handsome Patrick Bateman toils at Wall Street by day while casually engaging in torture and murder at night. "...the horror does not lie in the novel itself, but in the society it reflects. This is a world in which the elegance of a business card evokes more emotional response than the murder of a child. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Bateman calmly and deliberately blinds and stabs a homeless man. From here, the body count builds...The recital of the brutalization is made even more horrible by the first-person narrator's delivery: flat [and] matter-of-fact...The author has carefully constructed the work so that the reader has no way to understand this killer's motivations, making it even more frightening." (
Library Journal)
"...there is an idea of Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I am simply not there." - Bret Easton Ellis
