Bret Easton Ellis: Glamorama (angol)

Egész monumentális, nagyon okos, és összetett regény, a többi Ellis regényhez képest is. De nem lett a kedvencem, még a többi Ellis regény közül sem.

Amiben viszont ugyanolyan, mint a többi regénye, az az, hogy ugyanolyan könnyen tűnhet egy egyszerű, unalmas, felszínes, idegesítő, semmit mondó szókazalnak, mint monumentális, nagyon okos, és összetett regénynek, és ezt Ellis mindig az olvasóra bízza, és én mindig boldogan a másodikat választom :)

Patrick Bateman, who’s with a bunch of publicists and the three sons of a well-known movie producer, walks over, shakes my hand, eyes Chloe, asks how the club’s coming along, if tomorrow night’s happening, says Damien invited him, hands me a cigar, weird stains on the lapel of his Armani suit that costs as much as a car.

”What's wrong with looking good?"
She ponders this semi-thoughtfully.
”Well, what if it's at the expense of something else? I'm not implying anything. It's just a hypothetical. Don't be insulted."

Chloe bitched about the constant rambling and the shoving matches between patients – various self-destructive moguls, kids who copped to sniffing butane in group therapy sessions, heads of studios who had been smoking half an ounce of freebase daily, people who hadn't been in touch with the real world since 1987. Steven Tyler hit on her at a vending machine, Gary Oldman invited her out to Malibu, Kelsey Grammer rolled on top of her „accidentally” in a stretching class, a biofeedback technician commented favorably on her legs.
