American Psycho------pan macmillan
Even before its publication in 1991, American Psycho captured
the attention and imagination of readers. Now an acknowledged modern
classic and a multimillion-copy bestseller, it continues to be one of
the most talked-about books of all time. A film based on the novel,
starring Christian Bale, was released in 2000.
Patrick Bateman is
twenty-six and works on Wall Street; he is handsome, sophisticated,
charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to a
head-on collision with America’s greatest dream – and its worst
nightmare – American Psycho is a bleak, bitter, black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront.
