Showing all text quotes-
Are you as much of a criminal if you don’t act when there’s a crime taking place in front of you as you are one of the participants?

Bret Easton Ellis was born in Los Angeles, California. He is an American novelist, screenwriter, and short story writer. His works have been translated into 27 languages.
