1. Less Than Zero is narrated by Clay

2. RoA is narrated primarily by Patrick Bateman's brother and a girl and a gay guy + Patrick Bateman has a single chapter near the end + Clay has a single chapter which parodies LtZ better than DFW was able to

3. American Psycho mocks RoA in the opening chapter + Tim Price (Justin Theroux from the AP film) appears in multiple chapters of The Informers

4. Glamorama is narrated by Victor, a character with 2 chapters in RoA + He dies in the last 1/6 of the book most people miss this + Mentions Lauren, one of the main narrators from RoA: “Lauren Hynde died in … December 1985 … in a car accident … outside Camden, New Hampshire.” (Right after RoA ends lol)

5. The Informers... doesn't matter... Tim Price + someone from LtZ are main + Sean Bateman from RoA is mentioned

6. Lunar Park is about fictionalized Ellis and loops in all his previous books + someone imitating murders from AP

7. Imperial Bedrooms is a different Clay from LtZ + claims LtZ the novel was written by someone else + mocks the movie's connection to reality + is self-contained to the LtZ characters

You posted this like a week or two ago. Plus I think Informers is one Ellis' strongest works.

Lunar Park is very uneven. When it's good, it's some of his best, but there's a lotta garbage.

Imperial Bedrooms was more of a prose demonstration than a novel.
