GLAMORAMA: Return | Press 1, 2, 3 "Ellis's achievement is pristine...What's fresh and arresting in Glamorama is its uncompromising triviality, its rigorous transcience...Ellis has written this way before, of course, but never with such crazy focus. His run-on sentences only seem lazy, his strings of references only feel ad-hoc; in fact they're as calculated as Victor's guest lists. This premeditation shows most clearly in the dialogue, which manages to be pointed and hilarious just when it seems most casual and screwy." - New York "What Ellis does with cunning and brilliance
and style is to dress his models in language that is terminally
hip yet vitally comprehensible." "Glamorama boasts memorable if despicable
characters and downright hysterical dialogue...An important stepping
stone in [Ellis's] career..." "An accomplished send-up that reflects Ellis's considerable talent as a writer, a novel loaded with entertainment and ambition." -The Oregonian "Ellis's hypnotically perfect prose is able to incorporate just about any convention he puts his mind to...His greatest strength is that he not only refuses to state the obvious- that his characters' behavior is inexcusable- but also finds comedy where none would seem to exist." -Spin "Nearly alone among his contemporaries, [Ellis has] had the courage, and the genius, never to leave the literary playing field as he found it." -Salon "Brutally funny...Glamorama courses with energy and
intelligence." |
