AMERICAN PSYCHO: Synopsis | Reviews | Press

Patrick Bateman is a "yuppie" in 1980's Manhattan. Surrounded by superficiality and wealth, Bateman seeks only acceptance and love. His life is spent mindlessly searching, dissapointed by every encounter with friends, old acquaintances and family.

"A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing, which has large elements of Jane Austen at her vitrilolic best. An important book."               -Katherine Dunn

"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 the culture; and he's done it brilliantly...A seminal book."                                                  - Fay Weldon, The Washington Post

"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 have come to on the clock."
                                                                  -Norman Mailer, Vanity Fair
