Книга: Bret Easton Ellis «The Rules of Attraction»
Производитель: "Picador" Incisive, controversial and startlingly funny, The Rules of Attraction examines a group of affluent students at a small, self-consciously bohemian, liberal-arts college on America`s East Coast. Lauren, who changes the man in her bed even more often than she changes course, is dating Victor but sleeping with Sean. Sean - cool, ambivalent and deeply cynical - might be in love with Lauren, but he`s not going to let that stop him from bedding Paul. Paul, as shrewd as he is passionate, is Lauren`s ex-lover and the final point in this curious triangle. This is a breathtaking tale of sex, expectation, desire and frustration.

Bret Easton Ellis (born Biography He was born " His most controversial work, the graphically violent novel " His collection of short stories, " The novel " His most recent novel is " Personal life In August 2005, Ellis broke his silence about his cquote|The other dedication is to Michael Wade Kaplan, who Mr. Ellis said was his best friend and lover for six years, and who died, in January 2004, at the age of 30. They did not live together, Mr. Ellis said: "It was a very loose kind of partnership. It was not particularly conventional, and neither one of us was interested in the lifestyle, I guess." Mr. Kaplan died barely a month after Mr. Ellis had traveled from New York to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his mother and two sisters, as he has in most years since he finished college and moved to Manhattan. He planned to spend a few months finishing the final draft of "Lunar Park" and then return to New York. Instead, he said, Mr. Kaplan's unexpected death left him in a tailspin. He did not attend the funeral in Michigan, he said, because he could not even bring himself to leave his room - the room in his mother's house in Sherman Oaks, in the San Fernando Valley, where he grew up. And he stayed in Los Angeles for 19 months, shuffling from mother to sister to friend and finally a series of hotels, suffering what he calls "a midlife crisis." "His death was a big catalyst to finish the novel", Mr. Ellis said, and it probably added "a new layer of wistfulness and melancholy to the writing" that had not been there before. His latest novel, Lunar Park, was dedicated to Michael Wade Kaplan as well as his father, Robert Ellis, about whom he speaks openly in interviews done while promoting this novel. Robert Ellis died in 1992. In one interview [cite web|url=http://chuckpalahniuk.net/features/interviews/breteastonellis/|title=Bret Easton Ellis|accessdate=2007-09-26|author=Dennis Widmyer ] he states: In yet another interview [cite web|url=http://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375412912&view=qa|title=A Conversation with Bret Easton Ellis|accessdate=2007-09-26 ] Bret Easton Ellis comments: Bret Easton Ellis has said that the character of Patrick Bateman, from "American Psycho", was originally based on his father.cite web| url = http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307264305&view=auqa| title = Author Q & A: A conversation with Bret Easton Ellis| publisher = randomhouse.com| accessdate = 2007-02-25] Bibliography * " Films "Less Than Zero" was made into a film in 1987, directed by Marek Kanievska and starring A film about Ellis, titled "This Is Not an Exit: The Fictional World of Bret Easton Ellis", was made in 2000.

An adaptation of the collection of short stories " He recently wrote the screenplay for a film titled " His latest novel, "Lunar Park", is being made into a movie looking towards a 2009 release date. It was adapted into a screenplay by Lane Shadgett. Recurring characters Ellis often uses recurring characters and settings. Major characters in one novel may become minor ones in the next, or vice versa. Camden College, a fictional *"Less Than Zero" - Camden is referred to several times. Both Clay, the novel's protagonist and narrator, and Daniel, are said to be attending it. *"The Rules of Attraction" - Clay appears as a minor character and narrates one chapter. He is referred to as "The Guy from L.A." before being properly introduced. Main character *"American Psycho" - *" *"The Informers" - The son of the narrator of Chapter 4, "In the Islands" is Timothy Price, an acquaintance/friend of *"The Informers" - Chapter 8 consists solely of letters written to Sean Bateman, of "The Rules of Attraction", by a girl named Anne who leaves Camden to visit her grandparents in L.A. The letters never reveal Sean's last name, but they reference one of his catch phrases: "Deal with it." The letters are also never replied to. This is evident from the way Anne begs for a reply during each letter. *"Glamorama" - *"Lunar Park" - All the author's previous works are heavily referenced, in keeping with the book-within-a-book structure.
