Title : Lunar Park - Bret Easton Ellis - Book
Summary :
Five years after the dazzling Glamorama, Bret Easton Ellis changes register and takes the stage to become the central character of Lunar Park.
We remember the decadent characters Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Victor Ward (Glamorama), the artificial paradises, the glory and the violence that were at the heart of their experiences. As if to dismiss a sulphurous reputation, mixing his own memories, his demons and the characters who populate his previous texts, Ellis decides with Lunar Park to play himself as a married man, father of a family, living on a huge estate in Midland County. Ultimately, a bourgeois life divided between the shopping center on Saturday afternoons, sessions with a couples therapist, and dinners with neighbors. A comic twist that turns into a nightmare. The narrator, Bret Easton Ellis, thinks that Proust's madeleines are tangerines, that his house on Elsinore Lane is haunted, that the specter is his dead father and perhaps also the murderous hero of American Psycho, that he must rediscover the simplicity of the sentences of his first novel... A hallucinatory and jubilant dream that mixes autobiography and astonishing visions: Bret Easton Ellis plays with humor and virtuosity on the myth of the writer to write a powerful and masterfully controlled novel. Lunar Park appears almost simultaneously in the United States, England and France. The author will be present in France at the time of the book's release.
