We once applauded this

Article Abstract:

The recent murder of students at Columbine High School highlights the deep-seated malaise among certain groups of young people in the US. This malaise has been particularly clearly presented by Bret Easton Ellis, whose latest novel, 'Glamorama,' focuses on an 'it boy' on the club scene in New York, NY. The characters presented by Ellis are obsessed with celebrity and wealth, have no moral values and fear individuality. Ellis blames free-market consumer capitalism and society's obsession with work and ownership.
