Bret Easton Ellis

Biography

Bret Easton Ellis is a self-proclaimed satirist and author known for his provocative novels that express extreme acts and opinions in an affectless style. His breakthrough novel "Less than Zero" (1985) sparked controversy, followed by the critically acclaimed and commercially successful "American Psycho" (1991), which was later adapted into a film. Ellis's more recent works have continued this metafictional trend, blending fact and fiction in novels like "Lunar Park" (2005) and "The Shards" (2023).
