Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis
Everyone is talking about this new Bret Easton Ellis book. Love him or hate him he is a man of the moment ‘In his novel Lunar Park, Bret Easton Ellis takes first-person narrative to an extreme, inserting himself into the haunting story of a drugged-out famous writer living in the suburbs trying to reconnect with his wife and son and reconcile his damaged past. Lunar Park confounds one expectation after another, passing through comedy and mounting horror, both psychological and supernatural, toward an astonishing resolution–about love and loss, fathers and sons–in what is surely the most powerfully original and deeply moving novel of an extraordinary career.
