Bret Easton Ellis is most probably L’the American ...

Bret Easton Ellis is most probably L’the American writer most talented since the end of the Eighties. Lunar Park tells its history post-Glamorama, that D’a man who after having accumulated success and excess, decides to be posed and to join again with the woman which L’likes, Jayne Dennis, actress of reputation and with which it has a son (itself having had a girl with another man).


At the beginning of the book, Ellis leaves luminous Manhattan and its districts to come S’to fail in the calm and peaceful suburbs. Then qu’it S’harnesses with L’writing of its last novel, Teenage Pussy, a succession of strange phenomena – a which cursed cuddly toy, a fitted carpet which pushes, a maniac who takes again the murders of American Psycho… – comes to parasitize his will of stability and pushes it more and more to join again with its old through removed from rim and depressive junkie.


The book is actually a fictitious autobiography : Ellis is delivered as it L’intends and free with each one to distinguish the truth of the forgery in its fabric of confidences/mensonges. On the bottom, the references to Stephen King multiply, affiliation acknowledged by Bret itself. Always cynical, often laughing, coke with all goes and the effects D’accumulations left place here with a tension ever seen at L’author before.


However, Lunar Park is objectively intended to the fans D’Ellis, because all the progression of L’œuvre tends for L’author to get rid of his layer of cynicism and violence dispersed throughout its career to come to lead to a deeply personal and very touching final message (even lachrymal). If Ellis returns after 6 years of silence, this N’is not thus to collect its nest egg, but to try well to rectify the shooting D’a skewed trajectory.


To note that the book functions in diptych with American Psycho ( qu it is necessary’D to have read and’have included/understood to consider LP), the message evolving/moving of "I hate my father over very" with " You I am also important miss dad ".
Concerning, moving, terrorizing, disconcerting, Ellis digresses towards extremely relevant reflexions, N’not hesitating to take multiple fire exits never to find itself with the same height as the reader. One will be able to even reinterpret the book like an attempt to put oneself at the place of his father in order to better include/understand it...



Lunar Park is thus with final book (will) époustouflant of control, shining in its concept and its result, which should not absolutely escape to the fans from L’writer. According to him, C’is even the last, and one would tend to believe it.

Go, for the very last time : Patrick Bateman N’killed anybody.
