Я вот пока езжу, читаю книги в дороге....

I’m driving now, reading books on the road. Now I’m reading the sensational book "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis, I know that there is an adaptation, but I did not watch it. A book on white-collar workers from Wall Street, specifically about one of these creative comrades. It immediately catches the eye that the volume book is 900 pages in electronic form. The point is that 70% of the text is a description of various fashion brands Armani, Louis Viton, and so on and so on and so on .... with that, not a page, not a character, described thoroughly what he is dressed in, which company of what done. I understand that through this the author wanted to show the madness of the character, well, they say how this creative class is going crazy because of this statuary. But I don’t understand, this is an allusion of the type “the rich cry the same?” Yes, and it seems to me that the madness of poverty is much worse .... To recall the same Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. If Dostoevsky wrote compassionate prose, about whose people poverty, despair, and showing the promoted wealth of that time, pushed for certain actions, then here the frantic golden youth is stupidly crazy about money and brands. complicated. Although we must pay tribute to the normal language of the book, it is not difficult to read.
