Bret Easton Ellis is an American writer, screenwriter, and short story writer. He was born into a wealthy family. His father, Robert Martin Ellis, was a builder, and his mother, Dale Dennis Ellis, made a home. He grew up in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley. His first novel was a well-received book entitled "Under Than Zero" about a group of wealthy, comfortable young people growing up in Los Angeles. Years later, he followed it up with a series called "Imperial Bedrooms". He often connects the characters of his works as evidenced by his collection of short stories, "The Informers", featuring familiar characters. These stories are first told by different characters, even though they appear in all the stories. His works “violate the law” of nature. Her book "American Psycho" has gotten into trouble with groups of women because of its violence and sexual content. However, it is widely regarded as his best work yet. “Under Zero”, “Directors”, “American Psycho”, and “The Rules of Attraction” made movies. He also wrote a movie portrait entitled "The Canyons" and "The Curse of Downers Grove". He did not disclose his sexual orientation because he thought that people would read his books differently, depending on their opinion of him.
