Satire and Sympathy in American Psycho
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis was originally dismissed as flippant and distasteful because critics focused on the novel's excessive violence, misogyny, and shallow characters. The book remains controversial to this day, though later critics haveshed light on the novel as a satirical …
