About this listen

He became a best-selling novelist while still in college, immediately famous and wealthy. He watched his insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box. He was lost in a haze of booze, drugs and vilification.

Then he was given a second chance.

This is the life of Bret Easton Ellis, the author and subject of this remarkable novel. Confounding one expectation after another, Lunar Park is equally hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking. It’s the most original novel of an extraordinary career - and best of all: it all happened, every word is true.

Critic Reviews

“Great emotional complexity and depth...it’s a very interesting ride with an always interesting novelist – and, as such, is one worth taking.” (The Times)

Mastery of style and prose

One of my favourite books by one of my favourite authors. Haunted, moving, comedic in parts. This is a special book in a brilliant career. The ending never fails to devastate me.

The narration took a little bit to get used to. The narrator used for Psycho made for a far better listen.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
