Probably because it is against everything you kids are for. The vapidity and emptiness of Gen X is amplified by the vapidity and emptiness of Millenials. A generation of useless voices who don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

Yes. He's so jealous of DFW that he still shits on him on Twitter.

He's basically a one-hit wonder whose career should have ended back in the 90s, and who shits on writers more talented than him.

Quoted By:

Less Than Zero and American Psycho are interesting because of the way they present examine a sort of contemporary hedonism. They present drug use, sex, and even murder without really offering a moral judgment, but just sort of letting them exist.

He should keep his mouth shut and just write novels, and also he should write good novels instead of bad ones.

Quoted By:

I've never been interested in reading him, but I've listened to a few episodes of his podcast and it isn't bad. I mean, he comes off fairly narcissistic but I like the fact that he at least puts in an effort to have an intelligent conversation, even if he does bring that conversation back to himself constantly.

I really got into his writing was I was like 21.
Now, I could take it or leave it.
But I still respect him. He kind of does what he wants these days and I guess that's admirable.

Have you listened to his podcast? It's addicting but he literally only talks about millenials (AKA generation wuss), the sentimental narrative, and political correctness

Honestly. All three of those issues are so pressing (and threatening) to high culture, what else is there to talk about?

Shit. Even profit motive hasn't done half the damage that political correctness has done.

Quoted By:

Bee's work from less than zero through to imperial bedrooms, forms a complete corpus body of work that defines generation x in a way no other author besides Jay McInerney and maybe dougla Copland has been able to achieve.

The stripped down minimalism and murder and drugs and sex and wealth are all wrapped together in the package.

BEE is a one hit wonder who has spent the rest of his life being a butthurt troll and coasting of the fame of american psycho.
Personally i feel like he should make an american psycho prequel, patrick bateman the college years or something

He is also one of those gays like you see on /lgbt/ who have a slight conservative streak and he is obsessed with masculinity even though he a poofta.

Kind of reminds me of yukio mishima a bit.
Except i feel like bee is all talk while mishima actually lived a masculine lifestyle and went out like a samurai.

He's the greatest contemporary author.

Less Than Zero is not that good.

American Psycho and Glamorama are masterpieces.

Lunar Park is boring.

What does that even mean? Sacrificing to indulge a female to pass on your seed and then indulge a child has been the conflict inherent to manhood since forever.
