Glamorama

In Glamorama, Bret Easton Ellis delivers a shadowy, looking-glass world. It is a world where fame and fashion, terror and mayhem meet and begin to resemble the familiar surface of our own lives . . . The centre of the world: 1990s Manhattan. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere. Even in places he hasn t been, and with people he doesn t know. On the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York history, he s living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another. Now it s time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind . . . 'Does for the cold, minimal 90s what American Psycho did for the Wall Street greed of the 80s. You name it, he manages to get it all in' Vogue
