Oh, I wasn't complaining, just noting it. I've only read a
few pages, so I haven't really developed an opinion. Then
again, it took less than that for me to decide not to read
his first, Less Than Zero.
I do get the feeling from just those few pages that American
Psycho is neither noir nor hardboiled, the tone and writing
style certainly don't fit either (from what I know of its
plot, reputation and controversy, I'd guess it's gothic). So
it probably doesn't fit in here. I just mentioned it to show
that the brandnaming compulsion is not genre specific.
