The first work of non-fiction from the American Psycho author is
very good . . . the best thing he has published for years
*Sunday Times*
A winning mixture of incautious autobiography and caustic polemic,
with plenty of sharp social observation thrown in . . . What a
timely book this is – bursting with wit and diablerie, shameless,
bracing and fun.
*Mail on Sunday*
A splenetic analysis of the culture of today . . . occasionally
brilliant, often thought-provoking
*The Times*
Not everybody is going to like it. He doesn’t care.
*New York Times*
For the youthful twitterati, I suppose, he’s just another old white
man who hates everything
*The Times*
This attack on political correctness in the Twitter age . . . has
all the sound, fury and insignificance of a misguided rant posted
at 3am
*Guardian*
Ellis will lose friends over this book.
*Wall Street Journal*
Best described as a provocation . . . it’s up to you, the reader,
to choose to what degree you are prepared to allow yourself to be
riled.
*Observer*
@BretEastonEllis Your book White is staggeringly good. I’m loving
it. Thank you so much for your style, your humour and your
honesty.
*Eric Idle (on Twitter)*
