1,118 wordster? "AMERICAN PSYCHO" AS SOCIAL REIFICATION DRAWN TO ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION
Copyright 2001 by Daniel du Prie One of the criticisms that have been levelled at American Psycho is that, as novels go, it is simply badly and ineptly written, because it is not believable; that is, it does not manage to reflect what could really happen.

They were, in effect, a kind of brilliant, vicious, Swiftian graffiti. Born in Budapest, Orban's earliest exper...
