Tras trece años de silencio literario, regresa el mejor Bret Easton Ellis con una novela monumental. «Un juego de espejos brillante, elegante y demoníaco que te mantiene en vilo hasta el final.El mejor libro de Bret Easton Ellis, el que estábamos esperando, el que nos debía. Una obra maestra». -Lucía Lijtmaer Los Ángeles, 1981. A sus diecisiete años, Bret está a punto de empezar su último curso de secundaria en Buckley junto a su exclusivo y sofisticado grupo de amigos: Thom, Susan y Debbie, novia de Bret, experimentan con el sexo, el alcohol y las drogas mientras aprovechan los últimos días de verano. Pero este sueño paradisiaco se desmorona con la llegada de un nuevo alumno: Robert Mallory es brillante, guapo y carismático, pero algo en él no encaja, y nadie más que Bret parece darse cuenta de que ese algo podría estar relacionado con la aparición del Arrastrero, un asesino en serie que amenaza a los adolescentes de la ciudad y a sus mascotas. El autor de American Psycho y Menos que cero nos brinda un emocionante y provocador viaje a su yo adolescente, un viaje cargado de un insaciable deseo sexual y de celos, obsesión y rabia asesina. Los destrozos es una absorbente historia sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y el complicado paso a la vida adulta, y también un vívido y nostálgico retrato de la década de los ochenta; una narración recorrida por el suspense, el terror, el erotismo y el inconfundible humor negro característicos de un autor que es el símbolo de toda una generación. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - A novel of sensational literary and psychological suspense from the best-selling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged high school friends in a vibrantly fictionalized 1980s, Los Angeles, as a serial killer strike across the city "A thrilling page-turner from Ellis, who revisits the world that made him a literary star with a stylish scary new story that doesn''t disappoint."-Town & Country Bret Easton Ellis''s masterful new novel is a story about the end of innocence, and the perilous passage from adolescence into adulthood, set in a vibrantly fictionalized Los Angeles in 1981 as a serial killer begins targeting teenagers throughout the city. Seventeen-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret''s obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them--and Bret in particular--with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. The coincidences are uncanny, but they are also filtered through the imagination of a teenager whose gifts for constructing a narrative from the filaments of his own life are about to make him one of the most explosive literary sensations of his generation. Can he trust his friends--or his own mind--to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, he spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between the Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Set against the intensely vivid and nostalgic backdrop of pre-Less Than Zero L.A., The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction, the real and the imagined, that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret''s life at seventeen--sex and jealousy, obsession, and murderous rage. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting, and often darkly funny, The Shards is Ellis at his inimitable best.
