Description:
A young man in what is recognizably fashion- and celebrity-obsessed Manhattan is gradually, imperceptibly drawn into a shadowy looking-glass of that society and then finds himself trapped on the other side, in a much darker place where fame and terrorism and family and politics are inextricably linked and sometimes indistinguishable. At once implicated and horror-stricken, his ways of escape blocked at every turn, he ultimately discovers -- back on the other, familiar side -- that there is no mirror, no escape, no world but this one in which hotels implode and planes fall from the sky.
Expand description
Time and again, the novel confounds one's expectations of it, and Ellis accomplishes the transitions from comic to surreal to horrific to humane with astonishing confidence. Matching ambition with artistic maturity, "Glamorama" is at once hilarious, savage in its worldly observation, and compassionate in its vision: a defining novel of our times.
