Ebook About Set in Los Angeles in the early 1980's, Less than Zero has become a timeless classic. This coolly mesmerizing novel is a raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope.Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.Book Less Than Zero (Vintage Contemporaries) Review :
There seem to be two fairly distinct camps here in the reviews of this book. Camp One: Bret Easton Ellis can't string two words together, is an amateur, is a wannabe with a backpack full of cliches -- how could he be anything else; look at the way he writes! Or Camp Two: The very criticisms that provoke the naysayers of Camp One represent conscious choices on the part of Ellis, the style and the nothing-really-happens plot are meant to work together and were done on purpose, and he's a genius -- how could he be anything else; look at the way he writes!It's intriguing that he was only 20 when he wrote this, and raises the question of whether a) What we see here is an early-life development of a rather brilliant writing style or b) a young man apathetically writing about his own life and surroundings to produce a largely autobiographical work. I don't know the answer to that.I do know that I was about 30 pages into the book when I realized that there really wasn't going to be much in the way of a plot, yet I finished the book in a day and didn't want to put it down. What other reviewers have said about the plot (or lack thereof) is pretty much true: parties, drinking, drugs, sex, followed by more parties, harder drinking, harder drugs and sex, followed by more parties, even harder drinking, even harder-core drugs and sex. But I don't believe you can use a criticism of that to make an apples-to-apples comparison to other books that do have faster-moving plots; you have to suspend all that with a book like this. One of the beauties of "Less than Zero" is that the monotony, the ennui, the over-and-over-againness of everything is kind of the point. It helps to very effectively create this world, which is ultimately a world of fishbowl desperation where nothing ever changes but the host of the party, the mixing of the cocktail or the sexual partner -- and even those elements are repeatedly recycled numerous times from beginning to end.The characters are shallow; their friendships are shallow; their lives are shallow. Is that a mistake in character development or a really interesting device by a very talented writer? I'm not sure; I haven't read enough of Ellis's work to know. I was disappointed in "Imperial Bedrooms," but because I'm not yet ready to close the door, plan to read "The Rules of Attraction" next.I enjoyed "Less than Zero," monotony and all. I did not think the movie, which so many seem to revere as a mainstay of the 80s, got it right *at all.* After reading the book, the movie was to me a tone-deaf adaptation, with the absence of the interior monologue leaving a gaping hole in what had been the original spirit of the book. I also thought it was badly miscast, with the possible exception of Robert Downey, Jr. I have read Ellis' Glamorama and was struck by the biting satire and astute social commentary. Less Than Zero is the author's first novel published while he was a college student. I had some reservations about the book, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the prose and the characters.The book's protagonist, Clay, and his friends are all upper-class WASP types living in Los Angeles. The story follows clay on his coke-dusted, alcohol fueled adventures on his Christmas break from university. There isn't much of a plot to the book, which works in some respects and doesn't at times. The main 'plot' is the narrator's struggle (if you could call it that) to understand why his friends do the things they do, with regard to their nighttime activities. The only external plot is Clay trying to get in touch with one of his friends to get money back from him.Ellis does not use his characters' depravity as a crutch. He effectively shows Clay's rationalization of the things he sees. The narration kept me from putting the book down as a jumble of shocking scenes meant only for shock value. Less Than Zero is one of the few novels I've read recently that really effected me emotionally. I actually found the book more thematically cohesive than F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise which has a similar concept and was also a first novel.The lack of a concrete plot may turn off some readers, but the narrator's emotional journey is worth the read. Ellis' astute social commentary shows even in his debut book. I also found that a book written in the 1980s has a many parallels to the college/young adult culture of today. I often found myself laughing in agreement, as many of the chapters in the book could be describing the night life and drug culture at my university, albeit without references to Duran Duran and land line telephones.
