Sin nada mejor que hacer, se reincorpora a sus viejas rutinas: un frenesí de fiestas interminables, sexo sin miramientos y montañas de coca.

Retrato de una sociedad en la que cada adolescente tiene su dealer y en la que las emociones se miden en fajos de billetes, Menos que cero es la primera novela del autor de American Psycho. Escrita cuando Bret Easton Ellis contaba solo veinte años, Menos que cero narra, con un estilo gélido y contundente, las andanzas de un grupo de adolescentes a la deriva en los años ochenta, y sorprendió a la crítica para convertirse inmediatamente en obra de culto.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The timeless classic from the acclaimed author of American Psycho about the lost generation of 1980s Los Angeles, who experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. - The basis for the cult-classic film "Possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality." --The New York Times

They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope. When Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college, he re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin.

Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, underground rock clubs, and within the seamy world of L.A. after dark.
