Biography
He was born in Los Angeles and raised in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley, the son of Robert Martin Ellis , a wealthy property developer, and Dale Ellis , a housewife. His parents divorced around 1982(?). He was educated at Buckley High School, where he did not distinguish himself, and then took a music based course at Bennington College in Vermont. He was a part-time musician in some minor 1980s bands, such as The Parents, before his first book was published while he was still a student. Less Than Zero , a tale of disaffected rich teenage Los Angelenos, was well received by the critics and sold respectably (50,000 copies in its first year). He moved to New York in 1987 to release his second novel.

    Interview with Bret Easton Ellis
    by Mark Amerika and Alexander Laurence
    (c) 1994 Mark Amerika and Alexander Laurence Bret Easton Ellis is the author of four controversial novels including Less Than Zero The Rules of Attraction American Psycho , and The Informers . He grew up in Los Angeles where he played keyboards for many new wave groups, hung out in the LA punk scene, and now is often nostalgic for that time in the early 1980s. He wrote a few novels at an early age, made it fashionable to go to Bennington, and eventually moved to New York City. He was often attacked for the intolerable violence in his novels, his character's passivity, and his generally "devoid of morals" esthetic, especially in 1991's American Psycho which was so violent that one publisher refused to publish it. Presently, Ellis has been working on a novel about the fashion world and supermodels. So watch out! Mark Amerika: How did you come to write The Informers ? Where did it come from? Did you write this right after American Psycho Bret Easton Ellis: It was written over a ten year period of time. I started working on it in 1983 and I finished it last August. It was 50% longer. It was the project I could go to, with no intention of ever publishing it, whenever I got major writer's block with the other novels. I would go back to this book which seemed to be about a group of people that criss-crossed paths in Los Angeles. That would relax and loosen me up, whenever I got stuck or tripped over someone's voice in one of my other novels.

While we all wait for the next novel from Bret Easton Ellis, its always fun to stumble onto something thats at least similar in style to an Ellis novel. Generation S.L.U.T. from Marty Beckerman fit the bill perfectly. The book is about a group of high school kids struggling with sex, depression, popularity and their parents. Mix in an ultra-rich under-age porn purveyor who all the parents just adore and you've got yourselves an interesting story. Basically, its like a Bret Easton Ellis book, but built around a younger generation. Thats not to say that this is just an 'Ellis formula' book, trying to capitalize on his popularity. Not at all. Instead, Beckerman creates a style all his own to move the story forward.

    http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0199/ellis/
    In his inimitable style, Bret Easton Ellis has ventured into uncharted, taboo territory for years. His books portray a perverse blend of fortune, fantasy and deep-rooted human flaw, a world whose inhabitants constantly walk the line between sanity and obsession. With Less Than Zero Ellis introduced the younger generation of Los Angeles' privileged, troubled class; The Rules of Attraction gave readers a glimpse into the twisted world of small, Northeastern college life; in American Psycho one witnessed the shocking fusion of money and angst in the 1980s, as manifested in a main character obsessed with style and consumed by arbitrary vengeance. This definitive satire rivals both Bonfire of the Vanities and Spy magazine as the final word on the decade of excess.
    Glamorama , Ellis's latest vehicle, ventures deep inside the world of celebrity, a world that jet-sets from coast-to-coast, from champagne flute to vial of cocaine, all the while sacrificing humanity for image. The reader follows the protagonist as his life spirals out of control, as he goes from model-slash-icon-slash-club promoter to unwitting witness to an international terrorism ring. The result is pure Bret Easton Ellisa world that is at once ironic and glamorous, enviable and terrifying. No matter how scrupulous and saintly one feels next to Ellis's characters, these characters are undeniably entertaining. Ellis's artfully-drawn satires continue to reflect his uncanny power of observation toward contemporary society.

    "Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street; he is handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to face and it takes us to a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst nightmare."
