First sentence: ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE is scrawled in blood red lettering on the side of the Chemical Bank near the corner of Eleventh and First and is in print large enough to be seen from the backseat of the cab as it lurches forward in the traffic leaving Wall Street and just as Timothy Price notices the words a bus pulls up, the advertisement for Les Miserables on its side blocking his view, but Price who is with Pierce &amp; Pierce and twenty-six doesn't seem to care because he tells the driver he will give him five dollars to turn up the radio, "Be My Baby" on WYNN, and the driver, black, not American, does so.
Description: Patrick Bateman, 26 ans, flamboyant goldenboy de Wall Street, fréquente les endroits où il faut se montrer, sniffe quotidiennement sa ligne de coke, et surtout ne se pose aucune question. Parfait yuppie des années quatre-vingt, le jour il consomme. Mais la nuit, métamorphosé en serial killer, il tue, viole, égorge, tronçonne, décapite. Portrait lucide et froid d'une Amérique autosatisfaite où l'argent, la corruption et la violence règnent en maîtres, American Psycho, qui fit scandale lors de sa parution aux Etats-Unis, est aujourd'hui en best-seller mondial.
