   Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis is a novel set in the 1980s that follows rich college student Clay as he returns home to L.A. for winter break. The story revolves around Clay attending parties, engaging in drug use, and contemplating his relationship with his girlfriend, Blair. The narrative explores Clay's increasing alienation from the amoral behavior of his friends, portraying a bleak and nihilistic depiction of the affluent youth culture in Los Angeles. The writing style is described as short, snappy prose, with a narrative that is blank and devoid of emotional reactions, creating a sense of alienation and detachment that intensifies towards the end of the book.
