Now a major film starring Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder, Kim
Basinger and Billy Bob Thornton
Capturing the lives of a group of people in Los Angeles, "The
Informers" is an intense narrative that blurs genders, generations
and even identities. The characters go to the same schools and eat
at the same restaurants. Their voices enfold us as seamlessly as
those of DJs heard over a car radio. They have sex with the same
boys and girls and buy from the same dealers. In short, they are
connected in the only way people can be in L.A. - suffering from
nothing less than the death of the soul.
'"The Informer"s is spare, austere, elegantly designed, telling
in details, coolly ferocious, sardonic in its humour, every vestige
of authorial sentiment is expunged'
"New York Times"
'A well-observed and bleakly funny indictment of a culture with
money, cars and drugs, where the nearest things to spiritual values
are health food and good looks'
"Times Literary Supplement"
'Ellis has the ability to capture modern reality with the
ferocity of a collector driving a pin through a social
butterfly'
"Guardian"
