The centre of the world: 1990s Manhattan. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. On the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York history, he's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another. Now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind.

Bret Easton Ellis takes our celebrity obsessed culture and increases the volume exponentially in this incisive and brilliant dissection of the modern world. Brilliantly written, hugely inventive and corruscatingly funny, it confirms his position as one of the top contemporary writers of fiction.
