“I never expected to hit any kind of audience.”
– Bret Easton Ellis
Even though Bret Easton Ellis has written so many brilliant and disturbing novels such as Glamorama, American Psycho and Less than Zero he’s been coming off so strange on his recent press tour. But he’s is a lot cooler than what I expected. After reading Lunar Park, then perusing his recent press and even reading the press materials that the book publicity people sent along, I expected a stoned intellectual lunatic that would take one question and then talk for 45 minutes. But we had a great and very honest conversation that encompassed a good chunk of his career, the films made from his work, and even his extensive therapy sessions.
Lunar Park is the most personal and revealing book of Ellis’ career because it is about a version of himself. A drug crazed asshole version, but one that seems like it would be fun to hang out with and snort coke off of Ione Skye’s tits.
