In The Informers Bret Easton Ellis revisits the country of Less than Zero with another portrait of rich, coke snorting, dead-end kids and their Porsche-driving, Librium-, Valium-, and Thorazine- addicted parents. The Informers is a collection of first- person stories of the Hollywood life. There's the Beverly Hills wife of a Hollywood producer, for instance, who no longer recognises her kids, lusts after every adolescent boy she sees, and hangs up on her dying mother because the conversation bores her.
