Glamorama, the latest novel from popular American writer Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, The Whistleblower), is a brilliant satire on modern society, purporting to show the depth of its spiritual and moral decay. The world, seen through the eyes of a modern Candide, the failed model Victor Bard, turns out to be a monstrous place, saturated with violence and entangled in conspiracies. The author easily transfers his hero from New York to London, from London to Paris, entangling him more and more into a web of incomprehensible and mysterious events and creating a large-scale canvas of modernity, living with apocalyptic expectations.
