About this product

Product Information

Own it, snowflakes: you've lost everything you claim to hold dear. White is Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction. Already the bad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho , Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here he escalates his admonishment of received truths as expressed by today's version of "the left." Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary and media communities cringe, as he takes aim at the relentless anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporate censorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, "woke" cultural watchdogs, the obfuscation of ideals once both cherished and clear, and the fugue state of American democracy. In a young century marked by hysterical correctness and obsessive fervency on both sides of an aisle that's taken on the scale of the Grand Canyon, White is a clarion call for freedom of speech and artistic freedom. "The central tension in Ellis's art--or his life, for that matter--is that while [his] aesthetic is the cool reserve of his native California, detachment over ideology, he can't stop generating heat.... He's hard-wired to break furniture."--Karen Heller, The Washington Post "Sweating with rage . . . humming with paranoia."--Anna Leszkiewicz, The Guardian "Snowflakes on both coasts in withdrawal from Rachel Maddow's nightly Kremlinology lesson can purchase a whole book to inspire paroxysms of rage . . . a veritable thirst trap for the easily microaggressed. It's all here. Rants about Trump derangement syndrome; MSNBC; #MeToo; safe spaces."--Bari Weiss , The New York Times

"[In] his first book in nine years-and his nonfiction debut--Ellis exudes the same youthful spirit he's always had: of irreverent amusement, quiet irony, indefatigable artistic curiosity. He's a living embodiment of how, between the predigital world of 1985 and today, both everything and nothing has changed. And it's been Ellis's life's work to make us confront the absurdity of that world in all its grimness, comedy and plastic beauty."--Lauren Christensen, The New York Times "Well written [and] bubbling with attitude and self-confidence."-- Kirkus "If Joan Didion is the California ice queen who picked apart the increasingly threadbare fabric of 70s American society, then, with White , Bret Easton Ellis is her heir apparent . . . shifting his focus to nonfiction for the first time [and turning his] withering eye to the social-media age."--H.W.

Vail, Vanity Fair "Intelligent and briskly observed. . . . [Ellis is] an artist who engages deeply with works, and his takes on film, especially, are often fascinating. . . . Ellis isn't afraid to be contrarian, and that's what makes this book so interesting."--Keir Graff, Booklist "Well written [and] bubbling with attitude and self-confidence."-- Kirkus

I did not enjoy this book. I expected a thoughtful essay and commentary on modern society, instead I got an inane exercise of intense 'navel gazing' by a self-absorbed, narcissistic author reliving his past glories. This book has all the depth of an old copy of People magazine or the National Enquirer.

SJWs beware! You might see yourself in this great addition to Mr. Ellis's oeuvre. Sane people should love the way he can turn a phrase. Moral of the rant? Calm down and think.
