I didn't much care for the book "Less Than Zero" (perhaps I am of the wrong generation) and don't remember much about the movie (although I agree that the Bangles' cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter" is truly remarkable) but I absolutely was captivated by this article and read it through to the end in one sitting. Congratulations and good luck to Mr Sorondo.
I read the Zoo chapter of AMERICAN PSYCHO to a group of bibliographers, abstractors, and librarians at a Banned Books Week gathering in Santa Barbara, CA (of all places). Not sure how much they were in tune with it, but they didn't murder me. Great study of Ellis and his work by Mr. Sorondo, BTW.
I enjoyed this, the length, the stylized reporting style. It made me appreciate Bret Easton Ellis as a human being rather than a cultural device. I wish him more silly fun in life.
