oh yeah. oh yeah.

I think a big factor in my love for Ellis’ writing -apart from it being… compulsively readable- is the sheer shallowness that pervades the world he describes. 

It’s amazing, because some pages read like endless list of actions done by the protagonists or other characters and maybe at first you won’t notice it but there are almost no feelings involved: people move like machines, there aren’t emotional moments that make you attached to them, there aren’t backstories that explain their personalities, sometimes you question whether they have a personality at all. And that’s precisely the point! 

I don’t think the word ‘happy’ has been used even once in all Ellis’ books I’ve read, nor any other synonym that might convey a positive feeling of that sort: on the contrary, what you get is an undertone of despair -under the total lack of sensibility and morality-. So, you have these characters that you do not like, that you do not even know because they seem to have no internal life whatsoever and that at the same time seem always on the verge of drowning in the glitter and the money of the world they are in. 

It’s something I find endlessly fascinating, the way Ellis manages to convey this sensation of utter desolation and hopelessness with a seemingly emotionless and list-like writing: surely nothing I could ever dream to achieve.

literally Patrick Bateman and Luis Carruthers

Life has always been about letting go when you should have held on harder and holding on when you should have let go

OK people usually pair gone girl with american psycho, black swan with whiplash

and besides the gender differences.. (correct me if i'm wrong) what separates gone girl/black swan (Girl Media) from american psycho/whiplash (Boy Media) is if you're making yourself palatable and whether you feel violated or not

because girl media seems to be about making yourself attractive to the general public and feeling like you're losing something along the way, but boy media is about fitting in with an exclusive group and feeling empowered through it

"You're a dead man. Count on it."

"Yeah? And you're a yuppie scumbag. Which is worse?"
