American psycho : a novel / Bret Easton Ellis
London : Picador, 2002
Abstract: Patrick Bateman è giovane, bello, ricco. Vive a Manhattan, lavora a Wall Street, e con i colleghi Timothy Price, David Van Patten e Craig McDermott frequenta i locali piú alla moda, le palestre piú esclusive e le toilette dove gira la miglior cocaina della città, discutendo di nuovi ristoranti, cameriere corpoduro ed eleganza maschile. Secondo Evelyn Richards, la sua giovane, bella e ricca fidanzata, Patrick Bateman è «il ragazzo della porta accanto». Ma la vita del protagonista di American Psycho è scandita da altre ossessioni. Quando le tenebre scendono su New York, Patrick si trasforma in un torturatore omicida, freddo, metodico, spietato. Al punto da incarnare l'orrore. Con American Psycho Bret Easton Ellis ha scritto il libro che meglio di ogni altro racconta gli anni Ottanta. Un decennio che, ora lo sappiamo, non è stato semplicemente una parentesi, ma l'inizio di qualcosa. Cosí, questo viaggio senza ritorno nella follia e nella spersonalizzazione a base di immagini patinate e ultraviolenza non ci parla solo di un «eroe» e del suo tempo, ma finisce per rappresentare noi stessi e i nostri giorni. E anche quelli che verranno.
