Bret Easton Ellis Biography, Age, Weight, Height, Friend, Like, Affairs, Favourite, Birthdate & Other

Bret Easton Ellis is an American novelist, screenwriter, and short story writer. He was born into a wealthy family. His father, Robert Martin Ellis, was a property developer, and his mother, Dale Dennis Ellis, a homemaker. He grew up in Sherman Oaks in San Fernando Valley. His first novel was the well-received Less Than Zero about a bunch of rich and disillusioned teenagers growing up in Los Angeles.

Years later, he followed it up with a sequel called Imperial Bedrooms. He very often links the characters of his works as is evident from his collection of short stories, The Informers, which has common characters. The stories are narrated in first person by different characters, though they appear in all the stories. His works are transgressional in nature. His book American Psycho ran into problems with women’s groups for its violence and sexual content.

It is, however, regarded widely as his best work yet. Less Than Zero, The Informers, American Psycho, and The Rules of Attraction were made into movies. He has also written the screenplay for the movies The Canyons and The Curse of Downers Grove. Lunar Park won a World Fantasy Award nomination for Best Novel. He has not declared his sexuality explicitly because he thinks people will read his books differently based on their opinion about him.
