Admittedly, there were a few points where I actually had to stop reading, but that comes with reading Bret Easton Ellis.
Ellis is gifted at describing moments in time, and at capturing a ::feeling::
This is a complete and utter mindfuck, yes, but if you’re prepared for the dark stuff, i could not recommend this more. I read this pretty much non-stop for 6 days, and my copy of the book is now heavily annotated and highlighted (and drenched with my tears - and my tea when I spilled it in shock).
Nostalgic, lustful, and extremely powerful - literally couldn’t recommend this more.
