GRAPEVINE, Page 15Sherman McCoy, Where Are You?
By PAUL GRAY/Reported by David Ellis
Bret Easton Ellis, author of Less Than Zero and a leader of
Manhattan's literary brat pack, has a novel due out next
February that is already causing controversy. Staff members at
Simon & Schuster who have read the manuscript, titled American
Psycho, say it chronicles a young Wall Street banker who is
involved in sexual perversities, murders, mutilations and
diverse other grotesqueries and degradations. Robert Asahina,
Ellis' editor, allows, "It is a book that can be at times
upsetting to read." Some are so upset that they have balked at
working on the novel. But Ellis has his defenders, one of whom
calls the work, a tad redundantly, a bete noire Bonfire of the
Vanities.
