Synopsis
Bret Easton Ellis writes a memoirish roman à clef about a middle-aged writer named Bret Easton Ellis who marries an actress, moves to the suburbs, settles down, and watches his life disintegrate. Among other things, his novels--in particular, AMERICAN PSYCHO--start coming true. The life of the Ellis of LUNAR PARK is both like and unlike the life of the Ellis who defined the Zeitgeist with his dark, brutal, and decadently appealing books, and the continual tension between reality and fiction is part of this unusual and distinctive novel's fascination.

Publisher's Note
Becoming a best-selling novelist and wealthy celebrity while still in college, only to have his fame disintegrate in a sea of booze, drugs, and vilification, the narrator gets a new chance at life married to the mother of a previously unacknowledged son and living in suburbia, but now his new life unravels in the wake of a series of grotesque murders and the disappearance of young boys.
Industry reviews
"For his fifth and most enjoyable novel, Ellis has found the perfect anti-hero: himself....Even his harshest critics may now have to acknowledge that this versatile, resourceful writer has formidable skills." Kirkus (06/01/2005) "[F]or those familiar with Ellis's reputation, the book is mesmerizing, easily his best since LESS THAN ZERO. Maybe for the first time, Ellis acknowledges that fiction has a truth all its own and consequences all too real." Publishers Weekly (06/27/2005) "Bret the character moves through this world in a desperate, druggy stupor, heading for his own personal horror story....But the guy writing LUNAR PARK is paying as much attention to detail as he ever did. This is what makes his book appropriately addictive, despite its colossal and ludicrous flaws: his powers of observation are undimmed as his needs have become less physical and more urgent. The author of AMERICAN PSYCHO is not above throwing an ax murderer in an Armani suit into his new novel. But he has also become able to fuse hilarious self-parody with a spiritual neediness that, unlike the book's particulars, is real.... LUNAR PARK culminates in an exquisite closing passage that is a phantasmagoria of love and loss, a fusion of hallucination and wisdom, a couple of pages so stirringly executed that they beautifully illuminate all that has come before. If this is the author being carried off on a flight of imagination, he also stirringly transports the reader. But if he has written this with utter clarity and no excuses, he also reinvents himself. The book's last words do not come from the Bret we used to know." New York Times - Janet Maslin (08/13/2005) "[D]eliriously self-referential yet curiously moving....Ellis is up to something serious here: he is confronting his father's ghost and the wreckage of an alcoholic household." New Yorker (08/22/2005)
