AN interesting comment on all the hoo-haa related to the novel's publication: www.nytimes.com/1991/01/20/books/l-american-psycho-959891.html'American Psycho' Published: January 20, 1991
To the Editor:
The Eastern press is up in arms over "American Psycho" because it is about a New Yorker torturing other New Yorkers in New York -- where everyone knows there are no psychos. If the protagonist nail-gunned blondes to surfboards and sliced starlets into sushi in California, these people would say, as they did about the goings-on in Bret Easton Ellis's badly written first book, "Less Than Zero," "What can you expect from those wackos in Los Angeles?"
The Eastern press created Mr. Ellis, and he was its darling as long as he fulfilled his function of providing horror stories about California. But with "American Psycho," this Frankenstein's monster turns on his masters on their turf, telling the world, "What can you expect from those wackos in New York?" LINDA CIVITELLO Culver City, Calif.
