Description: Set in in the early 1980s, Less than Zero has become a timeless classic. This coolly mesmerizing novel is a raw, powerful portrait of a lost generation who have experienced sex, drugs, and disaffection at too early an age. They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope.Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college and re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin. Clays holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark.

Though it is true I first read Less Than Zero in graduate school at Eastern Illinois University, and dominated conversation to trash the novel, Ive read it thrice since, and each time found new things to appreciate and enjoy. In grad school I was appalled by the novels comparison to J.D. Salingers Catcher In The Rye. Though fiction, I was put off by and could not connect with the behavior of the narrator and characters. Clay and Friends were simply high society brats with easy access to gross amounts of money, liquor and drugs. And the book contains many unsettling scenes, especially for those mostly familiar with classic and conventional literature. A few years ago I read Ellis short story collection, , a collection he created before Less Than Zero, and that honestly helped me understand his voice, themes, and much more. As ugly as Less Than Zero gets, the beauty of our narrator, Clay, is that he genuinely feels indifferent to the people and world around him. Clay is more satirical journalist than extreme 80s party animal. He satirizes the times, his parents, his sisters, and even his friends. And Clay is not heartless; he loves his childhood friend, Julian, and attempts to rescue him from what is best described as male prostitution due to drug addiction. Side notes: I love the italicized vignettes that take us back in time. These vignettes really help us understand and sympathize with Clay. I also adore, and one will find this in all of Ellis work, unbelievably hefty paragraphs, sentences that never seem to end. Overall, I regret being so critical of Less Than Zero years ago. (Of course, in English grad school one reads three or more novels a week. So our reactions are hasty, often forced.) Like the best fiction, classic or contemporary, Less Than Zero becomes much, much more upon each visit.
