Clay, the protagonist, is a bisexual college student back home in L.A. for the winter break. He comes from a pretty rich family and during the course of the novel, goes to a lot of parties, has a lot of one-night stands and does a lot of drugs. The story itself is a fairly frightening take on the amorality of the 1980s party scene. In 2010 Ellis published a distant sequel, ''Imperial Bedrooms'', which picks up Clay's story twenty-five years later.

* TheEighties: Creator/BretEastonEllis' writing style generally incorporates a ''lot'' of pop culture, and this novel is no exception. Every paragraph just screams '''Eighties! Eighties! Eighties!!!''' from the parachute pants to the Ataris.
