description: Patrick Bateman is 26, handsome, sophisticated, charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. He works on Wall Street by day earning a fortune. At night he spends it in ways we cannot begin to understand.In fictionalising a character of such obvious hypocrisy Bret Easton Ellis takes us on a head-on collision with America's greatest dream - and its worst nightmares. American Psycho is an explosive novel which brilliantly exposes American culture today.
