American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis is a satirical psychological thriller that delves into the life of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banker living in Manhattan during the 1980s. On the surface, he embodies the excess and superficiality of yuppie culture; however, beneath this façade lies a disturbing reality marked by violent fantasies and horrific acts of murder. The novel critiques consumerism, identity, and morality, employing dark humor and graphic detail to explore the disconnection between Bateman’s external charm and internal chaos.
