THE CONTROVERSIAL SUNDAY TIMES TOP BESTSELLER.

Candid, fearless and provocative – the author of American Psycho on who he is and what he thinks is wrong with the world today.

Bret Easton Ellis is most famous for his era-defining novel American Psycho and its own terrifying anti-hero, Patrick Bateman. With this book, and several situations since, Ellis demonstrated himself to become among the world’s most fearless and clear-sighted observers of culture – the glittering surface as well as the darkness beneath.

In about White White, his initial work of nonfiction, Ellis offers a wide-ranging exploration of what the hell is certainly going on at this time. He tells personal tales from his personal life. He writes with razor-sharp precision about the music, films, books and TV he adores and hates. He examines the methods our culture, politics and associations have changed during the last four decades. He discusses social media, Hollywood superstars and Donald Trump.

Ellis considers conflicting positions without flinching and adheres to no position quo. His forthright sights are powered with a fervent belief in artistic freedom and freedom of conversation. Candid, funny, interesting and blisteringly honest, he gives views that are impossible to ignore and specific to provoke.

What he values above all may be the truth. ‘The culture at large seemed to encourage discourse,’ he writes, ‘but what it really wanted to perform was shut down the average person.’ Bret Easton Ellis will not be shut down.
