The novel opens with a literary device which suggests the possibility that the narrator of Imperial Bedrooms may not be the same as the narrator of Less than Zero although both are ostensibly narrated by Clay. There he becomes embroiled in the sinister world of his former friends and confronts the darker aspects of his own personality. Its story follows Clay, a New York-based screenwriter, after he returns to Los Angeles to cast his new film. The action of the novel takes place twenty-five years after Less than Zero. Like Ellis' earlier novel, which took its name from Elvis Costello's 1977 song of the same name, Imperial Bedrooms is named after Costello's 1982 album. Imperial Bedrooms revisits Less than Zero's self-destructive and disillusioned youths as they approach middle-age in the present day. Released on June 15, 2010, it is the sequel to Less than Zero, Ellis' 1985 bestselling literary debut, which was shortly followed by a film adaptation in 1987. Imperial Bedrooms is a novel by American author Bret Easton Ellis. ![]()
