He moves with arrogant obviousness among bank palaces and luxury restaurants in 1980s New York. But status and wealth are not enough. All the pleasures of the world are at hand, but that is not enough. At night he murders, mutilates and humiliates. American Psycho is one of the most controversial novels of the late 20th century, which even before its publication in 1991 provoked protests for its detailed depictions of sadistic violence and humiliation of women. Here it is presented together with the author's debut novel Less Than Zero , where the richness and indifference of the young characters is at least as stunning and where the violence - precisely because of this - can already be sensed. Einar Heckscher's classic translation of American Psycho is presented here in a revised version, and Less Than Zero in Swedish translation by Sven Lindell. With a newly written preface by the journalist and author Fredrik Strage.
