Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?
Patrick Bateman has it all: good looks, youth, charm, a job on Wall Street,
reservations at every new restaurant in town and a line of girls around the
block. He is also a psychopath. A man addicted to his superficial, perfect
life, he pulls us into a dark underworld where the American Dream becomes a
nightmare . . .
American Psycho is one of the most controversial and talked-about novels of
all time. A multimillion-copy bestseller hailed as a modern classic, it is a
violent black comedy about the darkest side of human nature.
