People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles.

And so begins the tale of Clay, an eighteen-year-old student returning home to LA for the Christmas vacation. Troublingly, his holiday rapidly becomes a dizzying spiral of desperation, filled with relentless drinking in louche bars and glamorous nightclubs, wild, drug-fuelled parties, and dispassionate sexual encounters in the rich suburban homes of affluent America. A fierce coming-of-age story about the casual nihilism that comes with youth and money in a world where people are truly afraid to merge, Less Than Zero is morally barren, ethically bereft, and tinged with the often violent but always inexorable consequences of such depravity.

‘One of the most disturbing novels I’ve read in a long time. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality’ Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

The Catcher in the Rye for the MTV generation’ USA Today

‘Remarkable. A killer – sexy, sassy, sad’ Village Voice

‘Never has Hollywood’s version of success looked so frightening in a piece of contemporary literature’ Newsday

‘Ellis captures the tiresome “kool” and laid-back cadences of this group with deadening precision’ Vogue

‘An extraordinarily accomplished first novel’ New Yorker

Product Description:
A raw and powerful portrayal of unmitigated hedonism in the brattish youth of 80s America, Less Than Zero is the instantly infamous debut which shocked the world and became a cult classic.
Review:
'Ellis...is always interesting...the beautiful one-liners are everywhere...the last line, which I will refrain from quoting, is terrific. It is also oddly satisfying - flattering, almost - to see the old Ellis magic applied to the popular culture of our era...Ellis remains a bold ignorer of literary boundaries. Imperial Bedrooms is but another unexpected swerve in a wonderfully weird career.'
--London Review of Books
