Bret Easton Ellis writes a memoirish roman ' clef about a middle-aged writer named Bret Easton Ellis who marries an actress, moves to the suburbs, settles down, and watches his life disintegrate. Among other things, his novels--in particular, AMERICAN PSYCHO--start coming true. The life of the Ellis of LUNAR PARK is both like and unlike the life of the Ellis who defined the Zeitgeist with his dark, brutal, and decadently appealing books, and the continual tension between reality and fiction is part of this unusual and distinctive novel’s fascination.
