The 1991 novel, a psychological and satirical thriller, which was later made into film starring Christian Bale, tells the story of Patrick Bateman, a homicidal New York yuppie obsessed with high-end clothes and beauty products. The book's graphic violence and sexual content generated a great deal of controversy before and after publication.
The film adaptation starring Christian Bale was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. It also stars Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Justin Theroux, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, and Samantha Mathis. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on April 14, 2000.
