📘 About:
"American Psycho" is a controversial and cutting psychological thriller novel by Bret Easton Ellis, first published in 1991. Set in the decadence of 1980s Manhattan, the novel presents a chilling, first-person account of Patrick Bateman, a young, handsome, and ostensibly successful Wall Street professional who embodies the materialistic excess of the era. Beneath his polished surface, however, Bateman harbors a dark and violent alter-ego, leading a double life as a brutal serial killer.

The narrative starkly contrasts Bateman's mundane daily routines with his grotesque, sadistic acts, offering a stark critique not only of the main character's psychosis but also of the capitalist culture that defines and drives the society around him.
