description American Psycho (Novel) Overview
Bret Easton Elliss novel is a scathing, over-the-top critique of 1980s excess and consumerism. Patrick Batemans detachment and escalating violence are presented with a chilling, almost bored professionalism. The grit comes from the sheer emptiness and superficiality of the characters' lives, making the violence feel both shocking and inevitable.
