'One of the most disturbing novels I've read in a long time. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality' - Michiko Kakutani; New York Times . In 1985; Bret Easton Ellis shocked; stunned and disturbed with his debut novel; Less Than Zero . Published when he was just twenty-one; this extraordinary and instantly infamous work has done more than simply define a genre; it has become a rare thing: a cult classic and a timeless embodiment of the zeitgeist. Twenty-five years on; Less Than Zero continues to be a landmark in the lives of successive generations of readers across the globe. Filled with relentless drinking in seamy bars and glamorous nightclubs; wild; drug-fuelled parties; and dispassionate sexual encounters; Less Than Zero - narrated by Clay; an eighteen-year-old student returning home to Los Angeles for Christmas - is a fierce coming-of-age story; justifiably celebrated for its unflinching depiction of hedonistic youth; its brutal portrayal of the inexorable consequences of such moral depravity; and its author's refusal to condone or chastise such behaviour. 'An extraordinarily accomplished first novel' - New Yorker . 'The Catcher in the Rye for the MTV generation' - USA Today . 'Remarkable. A killer - sexy; sassy; sad' - Village Voice . Let op!
