THE CONTROVERSIAL SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER.

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

Bret Easton Ellis is most well-known for his era-defining novel American Psycho and its terrifying anti-hero, Patrick Bateman. With that book, and many instances since, Ellis proved himself to become one of the world’s most fearless and clear-sighted observers of society – the glittering surface as well as the darkness beneath.

In about White White, his 1st work of nonfiction, Ellis offers a wide-ranging exploration of the actual hell is going on right now. He tells personal stories from his own lifestyle. He writes with razor-sharp accuracy about the music, movies, books and TV he adores and hates. He examines the ways our tradition, politics and romantic relationships have changed during the last four decades. He discusses social media marketing, Hollywood superstars and Donald Trump.

Ellis considers conflicting positions without flinching and adheres to no status quo. His forthright sights are powered with a fervent belief in artistic independence and independence of talk. Candid, funny, engaging and blisteringly honest, he offers views that are impossible to ignore and specific to provoke.

What he values most importantly is the truth. ‘The lifestyle at large appeared to encourage discourse,’ he writes, ‘but what it really wanted to perform was turn off the individual.’ Bret Easton Ellis will not be shut down.
