Clay comes home to L.A. for Christmas vacation and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, 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. Morally barren, ethically bereft and tinged with implicit violence, "Less Than Zero" is a shocking coming-of-age novel about the casual nihilism that comes with youth and money.

  • Fra un Holden debosciato e il prequel di American Psycho, un climax più sottile, ugualmente inesorabile.

  • Sad; wish I hadn't read it. American Psycho (the movie) wasn't that good either, come to think of it. Except for the opening scene, which reminds me of my life.
