Sinossi
È un "modello aspirante attore" il protagonista di "Glamorama": è bellissimo e, se manca di personalità e carisma, gli basta però uno sguardo perché una donna si convinca ad andare a letto con lui. Suo malgrado viene coinvolto in un intrigo internazionale di terrorismo, scoprendo così l'abisso di orrore e morte dietro il glamour del suo ambiente. Un'invisibile macchina da presa segue le peripezie di Victor tra due continenti, scena dopo scena, ciascuna contrassegnata da un numero in ordine decrescente, come in un film. E, come in un film, è il dialogo a trionfare.

Unless you're already an out and out misanthrope, Glamorama will probably challenge what you think of the human race as a species. It's not a novel for the squeamish or the sentimental or even the steadfastly humanitarian. You know how at the end of the news there's generally a feelgood story design Leggi tutto
A top model, who is also a not as successful actor, Victor and his quasi-famous friends live decadent and highly consumptive lives, when a quarter of the way through the book you realise what's really going on, only to be thrown in a typical Ellis' dark, relentless and well written descent into a li Leggi tutto
After finishing this book I went to bed and stared at the ceiling for ages just like... "What the f**k?" Glamorama is not only a satire of the film/modelling agency and celebrity culture, but also explores the threats of terrorism and surveillance. The first third paints a bleak portrait of the 90s
Merítés-díjátadótól felspannolva, három pohár bor után értékelésírással próbálkozni, nos, ez bátran tekinthető kísérleti recenziónak. Mondjuk azon gondolkodom, hogy ez Bret Easton Ellis világával éppenséggel kompatibilis, igaz, az ő szereplői ezt kokainnal szimulálnák. De hát magyarságtudat is van a Leggi tutto
I might actually have liked this one more than "American Psycho," now that I think about it. It's actually kind of a 90's version of what AP was to the 80's, a sort of indictment/celebration(?) of materialistic/consumer culture, at least at the begining. Featuring a main character just as vapid as P Leggi tutto
4.0 StarsVideo Review: https://youtu.be/3hvDORi-RaE At this point. I have read several books by this author and am realizing that all his stories have the same narrow premise. They are all about privilege people partying until something terrible happens. I adore many of the author's book but reading Leggi tutto
How to put this? GLAMORAMA is many many things. GLAMORAMA is one very very long novel; GLAMORAMA is one of those books you’ll probably find on a 500-level English MA course; GLAMORAMA is not easy to read and GLAMORAMA is something of a work of genius. Now, it may not be as lengthy as say, Adam Levin Leggi tutto
