Nathan Tyree: Bret Easton Ellis
Less than Zero is the kind of book that makes you think "this kid has potential, I can't wait to see what he does next". Sadly, next was The Rules of Attraction; a badly written adolescent level pile of dumb. But then, he wrote American Psycho. That book is a masterpiece. Satire like a sock full of pennies. The perfect deconstruction of 1980's America. A stunning work of brilliance. Sadly, Ellis would never write another novel. Oh, he would publish "books". Books full of mental masturbation, stupid navel gazing, self aggrandizement, paper thin plots, detestable characters. Just nothing that should count as art or even entertainment.
