Bret Easton Ellis

Bret Easton Ellis Edit

(1964, United States)   |   |   | 

( fr ) Bret Easton Ellis (born March 7, 1964 in Los Angeles, California) is an American author. He is considered to be one of the major Generation X authors and was regarded as one of the Brat Pack. His novels feature a 'flat affect' and a glossy, empty style that garners him extremely polarized reviews. Ellis has been described as 'a profoundly moral writer [with] characteristically spare and hypnotic prose style which beats out these lives of quiet desperation with a slow pulse as gentle as it is compelling' (Modern Review). He has called himself a moralist, while he has been pegged as a nihilist. His characters are young, generally vacuous people, who are aware of their depravity but choose to enjoy it. The novels are also linked by common, recurring characters, and dystopic locales (such as Los Angeles and New York).

Talk of the Town piece. Since then, twitter.com/eastonellis has proceeded at a stately pace, clocking five entries in six or so weeks. Gaslight Anthem and Frightened Rabbit have featured prominently. Anyway, this is how we know that the above entry, complete with deadpan endorsement of his old Brat Pack buddy's new book, is not parodic. That and the fact that Slap Shot really is an incredible movie. Stay tuned. [Read more]
