In \u003ci\u003eGlamorama\u003c\/i\u003e, a young man is gradually, imperceptibly drawn into a shadowy looking-glass of high society and then finds himself trapped on the other side, in a much darker place where fame and terrorism and family and politics are inextricably linked and sometimes indistinguishable. At once implicated and horror-stricken, his ways of escape blocked at every turn, he ultimately discovers — back on the other, familiar side — that there was no mirror, no escape, no world but this one in which hotels implode and planes fall from the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBret Easton Ellis accomplishes the transitions from comic to surreal to horrific to humane with astonishing confidence.
