Confused on Bret Easton Ellis’s motivation for writing, any insight?
Post Body

He’s stated in several interviews he’s a self-proclaimed satirist, and he obviously makes a point to call out flaws in the morals of the elitist American, as well as commentating on the detrimental effects of excess/consumerism

However; he’s also gone on to say, especially in recent years, that his writing is a solely a result of his feelings at the time and that his novels are basically a reflection of that.

Do you think he writes as a result of both?

I guess, in your opinion, is he more of a social commentator? or a person who reflects his thoughts and feelings of the 80s era from his own perspective at the time, in his books.
