BEE, again

Fiona Crawford has posted a great write up of Bret Easton Ellis' recent appearance at the Byron Bay Writer's Festival over on The Book Burgler, for those who are so inclined.




Obviously I am a huge fan of Ellis' work and it was a great pleasure to hear him speak at his Oxford Art Factory event on this tour. I was unsure of what to expect (it's foolish but easy to mistake authors for their characters, isn't it?), but I was surprised and pleased to find him a very engaging, self-deprecating and clever guy. I haven't yet started Imperial Bedrooms but I am looking forward to it all the more now.
