"The better you look, the more you see."

Glamorama

by Bret Easton Ellis

GLAMORAMA follows Victor Ward, 27-year-old It boy. He is dating supermodel Chloe Byrnes, working with Damien Ross to open a nightclub, and is all around just a COOL GUY.

While it was published in 1998 (and takes place in 1996), it continues to be reflective of the world today. When you let the media and pop culture dictate what you love, hate, see, and believe, what kind of person do you become? Victor is both an answer to this question and a warning.

Because of its hilarity and surprising depth, it is my favorite novel ever. This section of the site is dedicated to it. Contains spoilers.

“There was no one there,” I whisper back.
