In a spectacular review of Bret Easton Ellis ‘ new essay ”the White” by her crush Bookforums Andrea Long Chu brat pack-the author.
You could say that she gives it again with the same coin – he seems to have written a book that pretends to be blasé but, in fact, smacks of repressed aggression towards the contemporary political correctness, she believes that she does not want to ”write an angry review that forcefully refutes the many controversial assertions made in ’White’” but does exactly that (albeit in an entertaining way).
in the interview in The New Yorker are Bret Easton Ellis against the wall. Why do you go running when Michelle Obama says that ”when they go low, we go high”, but are you neutral to Donald Trump’s statement that mexicans are rapists, asks the reporter. And get the answer: ”That I ’go running’ implies that I will be furious, but the narration in the book is pretty chill.”
See, such a timeless way to swear himself free from responsibility – it is not I who am angry, it is you.
