What’d people here think of American Psycho? Most convos about the book seem to focus only on the shocking elements, and its actual complex themes are overlooked.

Not best of &amp related, although the samples above look good, but just wanted to mention something from last week’s thread. Some anons were having an interesting convo about American Psycho there, so I decided to read the book over the weekend. I didn’t expect it to have such an emotional impact on me.

I’d really like to discuss it further if those anons are still around. Or maybe I’ll make a new thread and link it here, but I feel like every American Psycho-specific thread seems to attract losers who circlejerk over the more fucked up scenes while entirely ignoring the complex ideas that the book contains. Don’t really feel like fending off a cohort of edgelords who wanna talk about how they feel a soul-deep affinity for Bateman’s perversion, ya dig?
