The Shards - Bret Easton Ellis talks to RTÉ Arena

RTÉ Arena speaks to author Bret Easton Ellis about his new novel The Shards, in which he serves as both the main character and narrator - listen above.

Set in Los Angeles in 1981, The Shards tracks a group of privileged high school friends in a fictionalized 1980s Los Angeles as a serial killer strikes across the city.

It's the first novel in 13 years from the author of Less Than Zero and the controversial American Psycho, who also hosts a popular podcast, and has been described by The Guardian as 'a gleefully meta return to form'.
