The first work of nonfiction from the bestselling author of American Psycho is a no-holds-barred polemic from one of our sharpest cultural critics. Bret Easton Ellis combines social observation and personal reflection in a wide-ranging exporation of our era's manifold transformations. Throughout the book Ellis sheds light on his past, recounting his childhood in Los Angeles, his early success with Less Than Zero, the arc of his career over six more books including American Psycho one of contemporary fiction's most polarizing tales. And musing about our current era, he wrestles with what it means to live in a nation seemingly determined to tear itself apart and how our country has evolved gradually and then suddenly into the age of social media, when the contradictions inherent in all of us are at risk of being erased.
