With an introduction by novelist Ottessa Moshfegh
Eighteen-year-old college student Clay is back in his hometown of Los Angeles for Christmas break. Clay is three things: rich, bored and looking to get high. As he reacquaints himself with a familiarly limitless world of privilege, along with his best friend and his ex, his shocking, stunning and disturbing adventure is filled with non-stop drinking in glamorous nightclubs, drug-fuelled parties, and endless sexual encounters.
Published in 1985, when Bret Easton Ellis was just twenty-one, Less Than Zero is a fierce coming-of-age story which quickly defined a genre. A cult classic beloved for its dogged portrayal of hedonistic youth and the morally depraved, this extraordinary and instantly famous novel is a landmark in modern fiction: an inventive, precocious and invigorating story of getting what you want when you want it.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
An extraordinarily accomplished first novel. * New Yorker * The Catcher in the Rye for the MTV generation. * USA Today * One of the most disturbing novels I've read in a long time. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality. -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *
