when was american psycho published?
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. It feels as if I wrote American Psycho 100 years ago. I think I began it in December 1986 and finished it in December 1989; it was published in 1991. I was 22 when I started writing and 26 â the same age as Bateman â when it was ready for publication. I was young, but I felt old.
