WHITE - BRET EASTON ELLIS KARTONIERT (TB)

Own it  snowflakes: you've lost everything you claim to hold dear.  White is Bret Easton
Ellis's first work of nonfiction. Already the bad boy of American literature  from Less Than
Zero to American Psycho  Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere
with his provocations on social media  and here he escalates his admonishment of received
truths as expressed by today's version of "the left." Eschewing convention  he embraces views
that will make many in literary and media communities cringe  as he takes aim at the relentless
anti-Trump fixation  coastal elites  corporate censorship  Hollywood  identity politics 
Generation Wuss  "woke" cultural watchdogs  the obfuscation of ideals once both cherished and
clear  and the fugue state of American democracy. In a young century marked by hysterical
correctness and obsessive fervency on both sides of an aisle that's taken on the scale of the
Grand Canyon  White is a clarion call for freedom of speech and artistic freedom.    "The
central tension in Ellis's art-or his life  for that matter-is that while [his] aesthetic is
the cool reserve of his native California  detachment over ideology  he can't stop generating
heat.... He's hard-wired to break furniture."-Karen Heller  The Washington Post   "Sweating
with rage . . . humming with paranoia."-Anna Leszkiewicz  The Guardian   "Snowflakes on both
coasts in withdrawal from Rachel Maddow's nightly Kremlinology lesson can purchase a whole book
to inspire paroxysms of rage . . . a veritable thirst trap for the easily microaggressed. It's
all here. Rants about Trump derangement syndrome  MSNBC  #MeToo  safe spaces."-Bari Weiss  The
New York Times
