About this listen
Bret Easton Ellis’s debut, Less Than Zero, is one of the signal novels of the last 30 years, and he now follows those infamous teenagers into an even more desperate middle age.
Clay, a successful screenwriter, has returned from New York to Los Angeles to help cast his new movie, and he’s soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his former girlfriend, is married to Trent, an influential manager who’s still a bisexual philanderer, and their Beverly Hills parties attract various levels of fame, fortune and power. Then there’s Clay’s childhood friend Julian, a recovering addict, and their old dealer, Rip, face-lifted beyond recognition and seemingly even more sinister than in his notorious past.
But Clay’s own demons emerge once he meets a gorgeous young actress determined to win a role in his movie. And when his life careens completely out of control, he has no choice but to plumb the darkest recesses of his character and come to terms with his proclivity for betrayal.
A genuine literary event.

Story
From his first novel – Less Than Zero – published when he was still a college student – to his most recent – the fierce American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis has been a powerful and original presence in contemporary literature, whether giving voice to a previously inchoate generation or provoking a controversy that raged throughout the culture. Now he takes a quantum leap forward: an awesome reckoning of the American Century at endgame. In Glamorama, a young man in what is recognizably fashion and celebrity-obsessed Manhattan is gradually, imperceptibly drawn into a shadowy looking-glass of that society, there and in London and Paris, and then finds himself trapped on the other side, in a much darker place where fame and terrorism and family and politics are inextricably linked and sometimes indistinguishable. At once implicated and horror-stricken, his ways of escape blocked at every turn, he ultimately discovers – back on the other, familiar side – that there was no mirror, no escape, no world but this one in which hotels implode and planes fall from the sky.

White is Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction. Already the bad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho, Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here he escalates. Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary and media communities cringe, as he takes aim at anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporate censorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, "woke" cultural watchdogs, and more.

In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Story
From his first novel – Less Than Zero – published when he was still a college student – to his most recent – the fierce American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis has been a powerful and original presence in contemporary literature, whether giving voice to a previously inchoate generation or provoking a controversy that raged throughout the culture. Now he takes a quantum leap forward: an awesome reckoning of the American Century at endgame. In Glamorama, a young man in what is recognizably fashion and celebrity-obsessed Manhattan is gradually, imperceptibly drawn into a shadowy looking-glass of that society, there and in London and Paris, and then finds himself trapped on the other side, in a much darker place where fame and terrorism and family and politics are inextricably linked and sometimes indistinguishable. At once implicated and horror-stricken, his ways of escape blocked at every turn, he ultimately discovers – back on the other, familiar side – that there was no mirror, no escape, no world but this one in which hotels implode and planes fall from the sky.

Already the bad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho, Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here he escalates. Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary and media communities cringe, as he takes aim at anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporate censorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, "woke" cultural watchdogs, and more.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is a novel made up of stories: 23 of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter, sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Writers' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months", and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them.

A vicious 15-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic, a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. In Anthony Burgess' nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology.

Grown up Clay as evil narcissistic Philip Marlowe
A novel's protagonist who was a passive and directionless freshman in a famous "Less then zero" returns to LA again 20 years later and becomes mixed up in mysterious situation vaguely connected to crime.
Like a typical Chandler character he talks with different people and learns fragmented info about the situation and different characters' motivations.
There is also a familiar noir element of protagonist playing the parties against each other at one point.
The biggest difference perhaps is the more we learn about middle-aged and much more active and ambitious Clay, the more we suspect he might be one of the more narcissistic and evil characters in the story himself.
It is like a neo-noire where an anti-hero starts to look more and more like a villain as we move forward with him.
Ellis took a character who was kind of a passive criminal as a youth, ignoring the situations that perhaps it was unacceptable and pathological to ignore, and asked a question - would the years of experience make him an active criminal, a predatory person.
I must say even being an Ellis fan I mostly didn't get and like this novel upon a first reading, but got and liked it much more when I returned to it, being more conscious of details, knowing more about author's intentions and even seeing some of his newer work like the movie "Canyons", which has some similar themes and surprisingly made me understand this book better.
I still found some of the dialogue and narration akin to a pulp novel or a bad movie, which might be intentional, because the narrator is a B-level screenwriter who is said by Bret Ellis to narrate a story like one of his screenplays.
Oh well, I might like the bits I thought were bad the next time I re-read the book, maybe they just weren't obvious enough.
So in my opinion this is a better and deeper book then it might seem at a first impression, which might or might not also contain bad lines at times.
I loved the voice of Andrew McCarthy who reads the audio book, the only problem with it being that his voice for some reason sounds so kind and friendly to me, that I can't associate him with a book's villainous protagonist.
If you want the actor to really sound like a dark Ellis narrator it is probably better to go with James Van Der Beek who narrated "Linar Park" audiobook.
But listening to Andrew McCarthy narrate this book is also a pleasure, just a different kind.

“I never liked anyone, and I’m afraid of people.”
I was so upset by this book when I first read it. I felt an unease for about two weeks, at which point I read it again. As I’m far too busy now, listening to it was ideal, and Andrew McCarthy is excellent at performing this book. A Clay that is not Clay reading about a Clay that is not Clay. I highly recommend it, whether or not you’ve already read the book. Of course, be forewarned about all the depraved stuff in it, but I assume you knew that was there.

Andrew McCarthy: LOVE IT
It's great to hear Andrew McCarthy narrate this novel after having portrayed the protagonist on screen and formed part of that generation. More importantly, he's a fantastic narrator with great subtle irony. While not great literature, this is great entertainment although the violence gets rather gratuitous at the end.

AND
eh. It wasn't the biggest waste of my time ever. Rereading Less than Zero after 20 years and then this back to back I have to wonder what all the fuss was about. If you drink every time you hear " AND" you will be dead of alcohol poisoning like the protagonist is trying to be. One can simply not suspend one's disbelief enough to hear Clay's sociopathic friends diagnosing him repeatedly with sociopathy because...o yea, they are ALL sociopaths. More pointless than the first one AND any uni associated with BEE ought to be ashamed of its English dept.

If Californication had been Written by The Devil
An erotic, macabre, cynical look at the Los Angeles Raymond Chandler once lived in. Clay(title character from Less Than Zero) is now a deviant, scornful, manipulative narcissist in creative captivity. Andrew McCarthy reads this in such a captivating and enticing way you'd wish all of Ellis' audible entries had been done by him. he captures the callus, evil, twisted way a character like Clay thinks, and doesn't think.

narrator doesn't fit
The story isn't as good as Less Than Zero and the narrator for this just doesn't fit the book. While I still enjoyed it I decided to listen to it directly after listening to Less Than Zero having already read both books. It just pales in comparison to the immersiveness of the LTZ recording. Not saying he is a bad reader, he just doesn't work for this book.
