Sorry,
Never really made a point there, did I? Gosh-too much blow and wine makes the worst recipe for rationalization we (there's more than one of us)have ever seen. I was trying to rip on Mr. Ellis, and for that matter all his cohorts, but I came to this conclusion: I've read, and bought, all their books. Bottom line: every author wants publication and mass consumption, to be treated like the Thomas Pynchon of his/her generation and greated with cautious, maybe subtle yet always public gratitude, like you're the best lay this side of the Mississippi. And who knows, maybe you are. We'll never know, though. I've never fucked you, but I have read your books.
Cheers,
Billy

Mr. Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney have been in cahoots for as long as I have been reading them, and I wish I could say it was for the worse. However, the opposite is true; they prod each other to achieve literary mediocraty. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's true. I loved "Bright Lights, Big City" and "American Psycho" both. I've recommend both to those who won't even pick up "The Client" because reading is boring, according to those who don't head my advice. 'I, I, I, I,'.....what good's this babble gonna do? This has taken too long to write. "American Psycho" is the funniest movie I've seen in a long time; I thought they stopped making movies like that.
Cheers,
Billy

this is a great interview; interesting questions. based on his writing, i expected bret to be different, harsher or something, it was interesting to hear his take on the movie (which i saw last night and enjoyed).
