Glamorama

Victor Ward drifts through a frigid void amidst showers of colorful confetti, barely brushing against personal relationships—oblivious to the fact that he is doomed to fade away. "The author of *Less Than Zero* has weathered drugs, death threats, and critical rejection. With his new novel, *Glamourama*, he has matured and written his most ambitious book to date." —*Rolling Stone*. "It is a shame that it is so fashionable to loathe this 34-year-old writer, especially when the novel in question is a highly witty and scathing book about the decade's most frivolous obsession: models." —*Time Out New York*. "Bret Easton Ellis wouldn't recognize a good novel even if he wrote it himself. Proof of this is that he *did* write it himself." —*New York Magazine*. "The book seems to go mad as you read it, yet Ellis does not shy away from the appearance of chaos. He invents a new hell on every page. Mysteriously, amidst all this tumult, the style remains elegant. No matter how trivial or horrific the subject matter, the prose continues to lull you with minimal punctuation and a maximum number of monosyllables." —*Time Out New York*.
