Set in 1980s Wall Street, it follows Patrick Bateman, a handsome, charming young executive whose facade conceals a violent nature. The novel uses this double face to portray an empty society obsessed with status, consumption, and appearances, with fierce satire and disturbing violence.
The novel was originally published in 1991; the Picador paperback edition is from 2006 and retains the complete text.
A work aimed at an adult audience due to its disturbing content and its critique of social superficiality.
