Pressezitat
Bret Easton Ellis is a very, very good writer [and] American Psycho is a beautifully controlled, careful, important novel . The novelist s function is to keep a running tag on the progress of culture; and he s done it brilliantly . A seminal book. Fay Weldon, The Washington Post A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing, which has large elements of Jane Austen at her vitriolic best. An important book. Katherine Dunn, bestselling author of Geek Love
A great novel. What Emerson said about genius, that it s the return of one s rejected thoughts with an alienated majesty, holds true for American Psycho . There is a fever to the life of this book that is, in my reading, unknown in American literature. Michael Tolkin
The first novel to come along in years that takes on deep and Dostoyevskian themes . [Ellis] is showing older authors where the hands come to on the clock. Norman Mailer, Vanity Fair
