A name in fiction

The Village Voice ran an interview with Bret Easton Ellis this week, in which the author discusses his latest novel, Lunar Park, and why the tale of suburban dystopia is written in an autobiographical voice. Writes reporter Brandon Stosuy: “Lunar Park is a ghost story and a Charlie Kaufman showdown between the writer and his everyday self, written under Philip Roth’s influence and as homage to childhood hero Stephen King.” Stosuy also explores why Ellis is a writer who many love to hate — in a recent interview, for instance, even King referred to him as a “flavour of the month.”
