Read our Privacy noticeI discovered Bret Easton Ellis shortly after my 13th birthday, which is really the only time you should discover Bret Easton Ellis. That said, I haven’t read or much thought about Bret Easton Ellis since those days. So it came as a surprise to see that Bret Easton Ellis had come out of purgatory, and bigger and better funded than he has been in years. The Informers, a collection of gonzo LA short stories released in 1994, and 1998’s Glamorama both veer into slight Bret Easton Ellis pastiche, like a photocopy of a photocopy. There was 2005’s Lunar Park, in which “Bret Easton Ellis”, a slumming novelist, moves to the suburbs and experiences both literal and psychological hauntings.
