When the Mirror Reflects Nothing Back
What happens when a society worships success so completely that it forgets to ask what success is for? Patrick Bateman offers us an answer we'd rather not face. Living in 1980s Manhattan, this investment banker possesses everything the American Dream promises: wealth, status, designer suits, and a pristine apartment overlooking the city. Yet something is profoundly wrong. Behind his meticulously crafted exterior lurks a void so complete that even extreme violence can't fill it. The novel shocked readers in 1991 with its graphic content, but its real power lies in holding up a mirror to consumer culture and showing us something monstrous staring back. In our age of curated Instagram lives and personal branding, this story feels less like historical satire and more like prophecy.
