[edit] New changes to the 'trivia' section.
Patrick Bateman appears briefly, as does Christian Bale, the actor who portrays him.
In what chapter of Glamorama does Christian Bale appear? I recall a character (one of F. Fred Palakon's associates) who looks like Christian Bale (according to Victor) but I don't remember Christian Bale ever actually appearing as a character. I may, of course, be wrong. Which is why I ask.
"flat affect" Is this correct?
he walks bye in one of the bars that victor is in. he is said to have weird stains (blood most likely) on his suit

Can someone please check or reference that "Both Jay and Allison make return appearances in Lunar Park." Jay sure does, but I don't recall Allison Poole being in it. Angus Stirling 15:34, 7 November 2006

[edit] 80s setting
"Ellis prefers to set his novels in the 1980s, utilizing the overt commercialism of the entertainment industry of the decade as a symbol" This statement is misleading. Most of Ellis' novels (the exceptions being Glamorama and Lunar Park) are set in the 80's only because they were written in the eighties (American Psycho finished in 1990). Glamorama is set in the 90's, and Lunar Park is set in the present. This is why I removed this statement. -Fetology 23:01, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- The line could have been reworded. It's well known that Ellis was commenting on the decedence and greed of the 80s in much of his work. I think it should be added back in with more accurate wording. -- LGagnon 23:34, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Distopia?
From the last sentence of the opening paragraph: "The novels are also linked by common, recurring characters, and dystopic locales (such as Los Angeles and New York)." Is New York really a distopian setting? Los Angeles is famously the city of failed dreams, but New York? I think the myth of New York is slightly different, which means that we word Distopic probably should be changed.Fixifex 08:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
