The story is set in the autumn of 1981 and revolves around a cluster of wealthy students.
Bret Easton Ellis grew up wealthy in Los Angeles, attended the exclusive Buckley School and was a teenager when he began writing what became "Less Than Zero," his debut novel that was published in 1985 when he was just 21 and which spawned a 1987 film.
In 'The Shards,' Ellis melds the horror of 'American Psycho' with the Sherman Oaks anomie of 'Less Than Zero.' It's a feast for fans, not much more.
