With an introduction by Otessa Moshfegh, author of Lapvona. In
1985, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned and disturbed with his
debut novel, Less Than Zero. Published when he was just twenty-one,
this extraordinary and instantly infamous work has become a rare
thing: a cult classic and a timeless embodiment of the zeitgeist.
Filled with relentless drinking in seamy bars and glamorous
nightclubs, wild, drug-fuelled parties, and dispassionate sexual
encounters, Less Than Zero – narrated by Clay, an
eighteen-year-old student returning home to Los Angeles for
Christmas – is a fierce coming-of-age story, justifiably
celebrated for its unflinching depiction of hedonistic youth, its
brutal portrayal of the inexorable consequences of such moral
depravity, and its author’s refusal to condone or chastise such
behaviour. Less Than Zero has done more than simply define a genre:
it continues to be a landmark in the lives of successive
generations of readers across the globe. Part of the Picador
Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
