Overview

The author of American Psycho and Less Than Zero continues to shock and haunt us with his incisive and brilliant dissection of the modern world. In his most ambitious and gripping book yet, Bret Easton Ellis takes our celebrity obsessed culture and increases the volume exponentially.

Set in 90s Manhattan, Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. He's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another onthe eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York City history. And now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind.

With the same deft satire and savage wit he has brought to his other fiction, Bret Ellis gets beyond the facade and introduces us, unsparingly, to what we always feared was behind it. Glamorama shows us a shadowy looking-glass reality, the juncture where fame and fashion and terror and mayhem meet and then begin to resemble the familiar surface of our lives.

  • "The Better You Look, the More You See"

    Mitchell D. - 5 years 1 month ago

    Similar to American Psycho, this satire touches on the twisted culture of celebrities in which something sinister brews beneath the surface of makeup and cologne. The name-dropping may feel over the top, but that is intentional to show the abundance of people, often expendable. I find myself thinking about this book all the time, especially when something shallow comes on TV, like TMZ. People in films and music are worshipped and this book questions that popular idea. #SpringPicks
