but he hasn't though.
American Psycho is only similar to Glamorama in terms of his output. He hasn't sold it over and over. Lunar Park was atrocious, but Imperial Bedrooms is very very good.

Fair enough.
Remind me ... is Imperial Bedrooms the crass parody about the wealthy and self-obsessed sadist? Or is that American Psycho? Or Less Than Zero?

It's just I get them a bit confused. What with them all being the same schlocky pulp crap about the same two-dimensional wank-fantasy-autobiographical Brett Easton Ellis character.

The taking the piss out of yuppies is the good bit, the violence is really irrelevant, which is, I think, the point. And on that point (and that point alone) it's not half bad. But let's not confuse pulp lit with lit (Rushdie's Midnight Children is great, Satanic Verses difficult to keep interested in, but either way, it's a different standard of writing altogether - so not, in my opinion, comparable).

I really liked The Satanic Verses.
I prefer Ballard to Rushdie though.

I've nothing really against the book or his mad success
it's just irritating when people wank on about it as if it's something more than just airport pulp fiction.
