Bret Easton Ellis recommends
Scary Kisses (1988) Brad Gooch "No one else has written a book this literate and witty about the modelling world." | Fight Club (1996) Chuck Palahniuk "A great début...Hypnotic, pitiless and told brilliantly." | Sellevision (2000) Augusten Burroughs "Savvy, very entertaining." |
We're So Famous (2001) Jaime Clarke "Imagine Britney Spears narrating The Day of the locust as a gentle fable and you'll get the idea." | Lightning Field (2001) Dana Spiotta "Dana Spiotta's focus and control and insight are remarkable, this raw, skilful book is revelatory." | Come Closer (2003) Sara Gran "A genuinely scary novel about possession and insanity. Hypnotic, disturbing, and written with such sneering confidence you believe every word." |
Strangers (2003) Taichi Yamada "Yamada is amongst the best Japanese writers I have read." | Twisted City (2004) Jason Starr "Jason Starr is the first writer of his generation to convincingly update the modern crime novel." | Rust and Bone (2005) Craig Davidson "These big, riveting stories about tough guys in trouble are the best I've read in a long time from a young writer. There's enough incident, shock and suspense for a dozen books. This collection is filled with stories you haven't heard before." |
