Imperial Bedrooms
Bret Easton EllisBret Easton Ellis’s debut, Less Than Zero, is one of the signal novels of the last thirty years, and he now follows those infamous teenagers into an even more desperate middle age.
"Brilliantly written and coolly self-aware... Here, as in Less Than Zero, Ellis is plumbing the depths of human nature, exposing it at its worst." - The Observer
Clay, a successful screenwriter, has returned from New York to Los Angeles to help cast his new movie, and he’s soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his former girlfriend, is married to Trent, an influential manager who’s still a bisexual philanderer, and their Beverly Hills parties attract various levels of fame, fortune and power. Then there’s Clay’s childhood friend Julian, a recovering addict, and their old dealer, Rip, face-lifted beyond recognition and seemingly even more sinister than in his notorious past.
"Ellis fans will delight in the characters and Ellis's easy hand in manipulating their fates, and though the novel's synchronicity with Less than Zero is sublime, this also works as a stellar stand-alone." - Publishers Weekly
But Clay’s own demons emerge once he meets a gorgeous young actress determined to win a role in his movie. And when his life careens completely out of control, he has no choice but to plumb the darkest recesses of his character and come to terms with his proclivity for betrayal.
"In many ways, "Imperial Bedrooms" is a return to form for Ellis, after the stylistic departure that was Lunar Park... Here are the short choppy chapters; the flat run-on passages; the authorial ennui and banal recitation of brand names - all of which felt fresh when he premiered them in Less Than Zero and now have been cribbed by two decades worth of Comp Lit majors." - Janelle Brown, San Francisco Chronicle
