American Psycho is a psychological thriller and satirical novel by Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first person by the protagonist, serial killer and Manhattan businessman Patrick Bateman. The book's graphic violence and sexual content generated a great deal of controversy before and after publication. Nearly 20 years on, Ellis's work recently has been described as "one of the key novels of the last century." A film adaptation starring Christian Bale was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. The Observer notes that while "some countries [deem it] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities". In 2008, it was confirmed that producers Craig Roessler and Jesse Singer were developing a musical adaptation of the novel to appear on Broadway. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I read in a few interviews that Bret Easton Ellis, the author, intended for the book to be a feminist novel. Ive been reading the book and loving it but maybe I just cant see past the explicit murder scenes. can somebody enlighten me? Asked by bearchaser1090 - Mon Nov 10 20:09:38 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think it is Bret Easton Ellis' position that he, and the book, are against murdering women. More fully, he believes the book to be a satire of a certain strand of American society, male and consumerist, which leads people to murder women, literally or figuratively. Answered by C_Bar - Mon Nov 10 20:30:01 2008 Is it strange that I find the novel American Psycho absolutely disgusting?
Q. I enjoyed the movie but when reading the novel by Bret Easton Ellis I was disgusted at how he portrayed women and violence (I think it was too graphic for me, so realistically it's my fault for reading it in the first place), but who has read the novel or seen the film? Did you like them? I know it is considered a very controversial novel, like Burgess' A Clockwork Orange.. What are your thoughts on such book? Asked by Hayley - Sun Mar 21 00:40:26 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I read it and saw the movie. You're supposed to be disgusted. It's shock-fiction. I like reading things that push my boundaries and give me a completely different perspective than usual. Answered by RaTz - Sun Mar 21 00:50:35 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "American Psycho" American Psycho is a 2000 film about a young, well-to-do man who isn't quite as normal as he seems....once you notice all the body parts of women he keeps in his apartment.
