This is a question I Hurt My Rude Bits, Again

My commute to work was made excellent the other day when I saw a motorcyclist try to ride on the pavement to avoid a traffic queue, lose control, fall off and land bollock-first on a concrete bollard. He was fine, eventually – but tell us your tales of the old blinding agony to the gentleman's or gentlewoman's area.

It's poorly written and vacuous
like everything else that pan-faced hack has ever written. The chancing prick has even tried to claim that his inability to compose prose and infantile shock tactics are satirical. He's a nobhead and anybody who is taken in by him is a nobhead. He's the violence equivalent of that bint who wrote Fifty Shades of Grey.

Although I do like that bit where he makes a coherent and interesting observation about society and the human condition.
Haha. Yeah. Only joshing. Let's bite of somebody's cunt and talk about Phil Collins. Lulz.

It's shit. It's not "oh you only think it's shit because you don't get it" or "it's obviously too clever for you". He's not fucking Martin Amis or Salman Rushdie. He's a dreary one-trick hack.

But ... I mean ... if there is a point then I'm sure you could explain it.

I've not read it.
What is so good about it?

Not one thing?

is it 'real' or just a delusion of patrick's?
the throwaway culture where a person can be someone entirely different to someone else. views on women, if you like that sort of subtext. it's a social comment wrapped up in a gorefest snuggled in a snapshot.

it also plays with notions of the Body, the City, the Gothic, vampires and irony.
Also marks the turning point in BEE's output from minimalist moralism to hyperreal satire, using fictionality to shuffle the traditional tropes of postwar American literature.

And tits and that.

"satire"
That word used to actually mean something. Now it apparently means "this is shit on purpose lulz".

Oh man you're well clever.

You forgot to mention the Abject.
That's de rigueur whenever the Gothic is brought up.
(I helped save b3ta! Pig Bodine., Tue 12 Mar 2013, 14:00, closed)
The abject doesn't really feature in American Psycho, and the Gothicness is in the traditional sense of it being about power structures.
It's not 'body gothic', which is where the abject usually comes in to play.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 12 Mar 2013, 14:29, closed)
I'd say there's an argument that AP can be read as an intersection of the Gothic, the Abject and Seltzer's Wound Culture.
Mainly because I'm awkward.
(I helped save b3ta! Pig Bodine., Tue 12 Mar 2013, 17:04, closed)
I'd agree with that to a point.
My take on it is Punter's 'Monster and Terrorist', but using constructions of the female body in connecting post-Burroughs concepts of the masculine to a postmodern reading of the vampire image. Vampirism as Burroughs addressed the concept in Naked Lunch.

Mainly because I'm a massive wanker.

This is reaching Stewart Lee levels of meta.
The self-referential irony is amazing, and I understand it, because I'm extremely intelligent.

So it's an incredibly weak re-hashing of Tzu's "reality versus fantasy" idea.
A trope so worn out that it only really surfaces in pulp sci-fi.

And a social commentary? Really? On what, exactly? He's a cardboard caricature of a stereotype of something that never really existed and he nicked out of the film Wall Street.

look, the point of literature is that you enjoy your own gains.

I don't know what those words in that order mean.
Is it code?

AND you have to cut out every other page
before you can have a cohesive wank over the sexual violence. It's rubbish.
