An enigmatic figure who has always gone against the grain and refused categorization, he captured the depravity of the eighties with one of contemporary literature's most polarizing characters, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmerican Psycho\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e's iconic, terrifying Patrick Bateman, and received plentiful death threats in the bargain. In recent years, his candor and gallows humor on both Twitter and his podcast have continued his legacy as someone determined to speak the truth, however painful it might be, and whom people accordingly either love or love to hate. He encounters various positions and voices controversial opinions, more often than not fighting the status quo. Now, in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhite\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, with the same originality displayed in his fiction, Ellis pours himself out onto the page and, in doing so, eviscerates the perceived good that the social-media age has wrought, starting with the dangerous cult of likeability. White is both a denunciation of censorship, particularly the self-inflicted sort committed in hopes of being 'accepted', and a bracing view of a life devoted to authenticity.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46528141983902,"sku":"TLD-9781529012439","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529012439.jpg?v=1771477839","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529012439","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
