   Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis is a sequel to the author's debut novel Less Than Zero. The book follows the lives of the characters from the original story, now in their middle age, navigating the dark and nihilistic world of Los Angeles. Clay, the main character, returns to LA for the casting of his film and reconnects with his old circle of friends, delving into a world of drugs, sex, paranoia, and unresolved past traumas. The writing style of the book is described as flat and precise, typical of Ellis, with some lines of real precision and beauty scattered throughout the narrative.
