600+ page novel, main character named Bret Ellis, set in 1980s LA, where teenage Bret fucks around LA while a serial killer is on the loose.

Yuge fan of Less Than Zero, Rules of Attraction, AP, and Glamorama (my favorite), after which each of his books has been shit pure shit.

Return to form or cashing checks?

Are you looking for graphic descriptions of gay sex? It will probably have plenty of that.

I’m about 200 pages in and so far the book is 98% gay sex. I never thought of Ellis as a limpwristed flaming queen before this but he is clearly impossibly homosexual. Didn’t he used to pretend to be bi? He’s def 8,000% gay.

Around the time I made this thread I picked it up in a Barnes and Noble and read like 100 pages.

Insufferable.

But tbf, while he's always been turbogay, he is of the last generation of honorable self-hating gays. He despises faggotry, despises gays in advertising, thinks AIDS is your own fault, and constantly mocks his faggot boyfriend for being super gay.

He's like a rock and roller about whom you just need to pretend he never released an album after 1996 or something.

80s LA as in sunset rock scene? if so then would read. but if its another gay fan fiction about a bisexual loner creeping around bev hills, then no, not interested.

just finished. if you like BEE you will like this. its got all the intricate descriptions of violence and gays sex that any xo'er should appreciate.

what I liked best was the daily diary like descriptions of LA in the 80s. I'm a sucker for trashy "rich-kids lives" novels and addicted to all things 80s so this was in my wheelhouse.

i started this thread in 2023, remember hating what I read of this book... but three years later I still often think about one passage where he visits his old elementary school and feels very melancholic.

so i guess maybe its better than i thot. if a passage still resonates after 3 years that is more than most books manage
