Both literary author and celebrity, Bret Easton Ellis represents a
type of contemporary writer who draws from both high and the low
culture, using popular culture references, styles and subject
matters in a literary fiction that goes beyond mere entertainment.
His fiction, arousing the interest of the academia, mass media and
general public, has fuelled heated controversy over his work. This
controversy has often prevented serious analysis of his fiction,
and this book is the first monograph to fill in this gap by
offering a comprehensive textual and contextual analysis of his
most important works up to the latest novel Imperial Bedrooms.
Offering a study of the reception of each novel, the influence of
popular, mass and consumer culture in them, and the analysis of
their literary style, it takes into account the controversies
surrounding the novels and the changes produced in the shifty
terrain of the literary marketplace. It offers anyone studying
contemporary American fiction a thorough and unique analysis of
Ellis's work and his own place in the literary and cultural
panorama.
