Returning home to L.A. from his eastern college over Christmas break, seventeen-year-old Clay reenters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy. Soon his holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, underground rock clubs, as well as the seamy world of L.A. after dark . . .
A timeless classic from Bret Easton Ellis (acclaimed author of American Psycho), Less Than Zero follows the lost generation of 1980s Los Angeles who experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age, growing up in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money.
One of the most disturbing novels. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality." -- The New York Times
