Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. This was a high-speed pit stop between slower reads. It starts out inauspiciously with Ellis bragging about and quoting from his earlier novels. It then goes into a long, breathless account of his rise to the A -list stratosphere of glam and its excesses, belief-straining excesses. Another fairly long section chronicles his descent into serial rehab. After that, the book kind of falls apart. Paragraphs turn into lonely sentences about the wreckage and his painful attempts to save a crumbling marriage and finally connect to his son. But he's mostly aware he's too far gone now to make the connections. The way up was exciting. The way down, less so. Such is life. > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Ellis-Lunar-Park/4612 > BAnQ (Desmeules C., Le devoir, 17 déc. 2005, F-1 et F-4) : https://collections.banq.qc.ca/ark:/52327/2816910 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

He became a bestselling novelist while still in college, immediately famous and wealthy. He watched his insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box. He was lost in a haze of booze, drugs and vilification. Then he was given a second chance.This is the life of Bret Easton Ellis, the author and subject of this remarkable novel. Confounding one expectation after another, Lunar Park is equally hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking. It's the most original novel of an extraordinary career - and best of all: it all happened, every word is true. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a fan of horror at all. And this novel was absolutely horrifying. But also so well-written and with so many layers that reading it was an odd pleasure. I have to admire an author who can sink a story beneath so many layers of narrative that the reader has a hard time finding truth OR lies in the pages.
I would definitely recommend this read. If for no other reason than to admire its experimental structure and provocative prose! But be warned - it really is terrifying. ( )
