{"product_id":"9781441126481","title":"Bret Easton Ellis's Controversial Fiction: Writing Between High and Low Culture","description":"Both literary author and celebrity, Bret Easton Ellis represents a type of  contemporary writer who draws from both high and the low culture, using popular  culture references, styles and subject matters in a literary fiction that goes  beyond mere entertainment. His fiction, arousing the interest of the academia,  mass media and general public, has fuelled heated controversy over his work.  This controversy has often prevented serious analysis of his fiction, and this  book is the first monograph to fill in this gap by offering a comprehensive  textual and contextual analysis of his most important works up to the latest  novel Imperial Bedrooms. Offering a  study of the reception of each novel, the influence of popular, mass and  consumer culture in them, and the analysis of their literary style, it takes  into account the controversies surrounding the novels and the changes produced  in the shifty terrain of the literary marketplace. It offers anyone studying  contemporary American fiction a thorough and unique analysis of Ellis's work and  his own place in the literary and cultural panorama.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142795346160,"sku":"9781441126481","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441126481_p0.jpg?v=1763793583","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441126481","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
