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.

You forgot to mention the Abject.
That's de rigueur whenever the Gothic is brought up.

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.

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'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.

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