Background

Patrick Bateman was born on October 23th in Long Island to wealthy parents, and lives in Manhattan's Upper West Side in an expensive and exclusive apartment; Tom Cruise is one of his neighbors. His father is long dead and his mother resides in a sanitarium, and his younger brother Sean Bateman (the anti-hero of Ellis' 1987 novel The Rules of Attraction) attends Camden College in New Hampshire. Bateman is a stockbroker at Pierce & Pierce but does little actual work, instead spending his time going to trendy restaurants, bars, and clubs, using cocaine, and picking up prostitutes—many of whom end up being his victims. He usually hangs out with his coworkers at P&P but secretly hates most of them.

Extra

Bateman kills men and women, the latter for sadistic sexual pleasure and the former because they anger him and make him feel inferior. His murders involve brutal and often complicated torture; at one point. Bateman spends much of the novel detailing the accouterments of his lifestyle, including expensive designer clothes and stereo equipment and his extensive workout and body beautification routines.
