Set in the early eighties (and therefore preceding American Psycho), this book has the glamorous setting of Los Angeles, Hollywood style. The cast of characters includes wannabe actors, coke snorting rent boys, rich kids and more. The great thing about the book is how despite seemingly glamorising the lifestyle of those involved we ultimately see them all as being tragic, shallow and soulless. Whilst it avoids the violence of his later works this is still a powerful and often eye opening book, the only criticism of which is that it now seems a little dated.
