Bret Easton Ellis’s seminal 1991 novel presents a chilling portrait of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy Wall Street investment banker whose meticulously curated life masks a descent into depravity. Through a detached, stream-of-consciousness narrative, the text explores the hollow excesses of 1980s consumer culture and the disintegration of the human psyche. This edition captures the stark intersection of high-finance vanity and extreme violence within the framework of postmodern literary fiction.
