It was published as a contract filler between American Psycho and Glamorama but it was written around the same time as Less Than Zero.
So it's minimalist and stark rather than an all out blur of hyperreality and transgressive fiction.

I prefer his minimalism to his postmodernist stuff. I really liked Imperial Bedrooms, including the whole narrative framing that it used. I thought it tied his two styles together perfectly.
