Bret Easton Ellis Slams Self-Censorship Among Artists
Australian Broadcasting Corporation - Byron Bay Writers Festival
Elusive cult author Bret Easton Ellis fronts up to his first ever writers' festival in Byron Bay and talks psychos, film studios and moral boundaries in fiction. The sometimes controversial author of cult novels such as American Psycho and Less than Zero speaks with ABC Sydney radio host Simon Marnie – with some trepidation – about his approach to the writing process.Along the way, he takes us through the journey of being courted and sometimes disillusioned by the Hollywood studios, the furor surrounding the violence in American Psycho and the politics of serial killers.
