Lunar Park

Imagine becoming a bestselling author while still in college. Fame and millions of dollars blur the immediate death of his insufferable father. Glamorous Manhattan parties, sex and drugs plunge you into the maelstrom of self-destruction. Imagine that soon after you have a second chance, as Bret Easton Ellis does at Lunar Park: a new life with his wife and children in an idyllic suburb. However, all this can change... At a fateful Halloween party, Bret Easton Ellis thinks he sees one of his most fearsome fictional characters driving a car like his father's, while, in his stepdaughter's room, a doll has come to life. Strangely, the house gives off a ghostly atmosphere and outside things don't seem to be going any better: there are a series of murders and disappearances of children the same age as your son. Lunar Park is an exceptional work in which reality and fiction are confused, and in it the enfant terrible of American literature attacks his own biography.
