LA getting you down? because its Too Boring? Escape into this provocative - bordering-smut novel
that takes place in more exciting, drug fueled times. It’s called ’The Shards’ and I read it earlier this summer and could not put it down. Like most of Ellis’ writing, it’s got well dressed preppy hot people and cocaine and serial killers. After reading ’The Shards’, I’ve been very visually inspired by 1980s LA 🎥🎥🎥

I’m reading the shards by brett easton ellis and I love how specific he gets when describing his days. The exact restaurants they visited, the music they were listening to, the street names. I don’t recognize LA but it makes you feel like you were there.

Arguably Brett Easton Ellis’ magnum opus. I love that he sued Zoolander for stealing his IP and won. It’s a story about a male fashion model who becomes a terrorist. As in other Easton Ellis books, there is a mantra: “The better you look the more you see.” This is deeply true. Beautiful people are punished by being exposed to all the most horrifying things in the world. Epstein…need I say more?

By all means defining and also a perfectly strange starter for his work, THE SHARDS is a quasi-prequel to LESS THAN ZERO, and while it may take place in the 80s, feels like a perfect, ambivalent exploration of violence in our time.

It has so many purposes. For some reason it cures any weird thing that appears on my skin. I know its antibacterial but feels like a miracle for anything nefarious. also if your sink smells bad throw some down there it’ll help.
