"Bret Easton Ellis is a very, very good writer [and]American Psychois a beautifully controlled, careful, important novel…. The novelist's function is to keep a running tag on the progress of culture; and he's done it brilliantly…. A seminal book." -Fay Weldon,The Washington Post "A masterful satire and a ferocious, hilarious, ambitious, inspiring piece of writing, which has large elements of Jane Austen at her vitriolic best. An important book." -Katherine Dunn "A great novel. What Emerson said about genius, that it's the return of one's rejected thoughts with an alienated majesty, holds true forAmerican Psycho…. There is a fever to the life of this book that is, in my reading, unknown in American literature." -Michael Tolkin "The first novel to come along in years that takes on deep and Dostoyevskian themes….
