William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Oyunlarında insanlık durumlarını ifade ediş gücüyle yaklaşık 400 yıldır dünya okur ve seyircilerini etkilemeyi sürdüren efsanevi yazar, sonelerinde de insan ruhunun birçok boyutunu yansıtmıştır.

Although often described as a meditation on the vacuity of the 1980s, it's probably important to realise that an era cannot by itself create a state of vacuity, but only acts as a trapping. In this case, the 80s represents a sticky glut of technology, fashion, and media (does it sound very different to today?) that ultimately confuses and paralyses, eliminating feeling - and thereby the possibility of redemption - through sheer saturation. But psychotic behaviour is not new; it exists in everyone (in general), or at the very least in every man. It's more a question of those who indulge in it and those who suppress it. The reader should therefore not be surprised at the ease with which Patrick Bateman (the villain and narrator) seduces us. He is as classical a gothic figure as any that Poe created, and has all the darkness and all the comedy, without quite the campiness and more wit, of a young Vincent Price. He is so beau that he is often asked if he is a model or an actor. This makes him more of an act of a gothic character than the real thing, but the artificiality here is appropriate. We abhor him, yet he resonates nonetheless. More secretly American Psycho probably also raises the occasional hard-on, which as the delineation between sex then rape then murder dissolves - and really, murder is just another form of pornography - makes us question whether not being consciously shameful of this, at least until after the chapter is over, is a natural reaction or not. Patrick's hatred is born of a surprisingly touching fear of everything that is not a part of his own construction; anything with the possibility of gentle or joyous emotion by its nature cannot exist for him, and must be destroyed. Tossing a handful of coins into a seal pool in an attempt to choke them, he tells us that "[i]t's not the seals I hate - it's the audience's enjoyment of them that bothers me". Shortly after he stabs a five-year-old child in the throat and is not satisfied; the child had "no real history, no worthwhile past" and the killing leaves him empty. By conflating the extreme opposites we see not only the boundaries of human abbhorence - apparently limitless, there is little that Patrick would not do in the mutilation and annihilation of a human - but also, in our own sympathy to him, the extreme lengths humans are willing to go to to forgive one of their own, to abstract the blame into something larger and ambiguous. Or perhaps we should be more cynical, and suggest that our sympathy for him is merely of our own inclinations towards such darkness - again, classical gothic. There is more to pick up here, much more, that distinguishes it in many ways as a product of the modern era, but I feel the main lesson here is not in the story but in our reactions to it, of our own following self-analysis. That's what I got anyway. For some it may simply result in a deadening of certain senses, disgust or paranoia; for me it was all good for self-awareness. Damn, out of space - I'll have to try to post the rest of the review in comments!

Book #29 of 2009 I remember starting to read this book way back in High school, but I don't remember ever finishing it, though I don't know why. Perhaps I just wasn't mature enough to enjoy a good romance. I also don't remember what happened to my copy, but no matter, I've gotten my hands on another one. It fits in nicely with my celtic romance obsession of late. As another plus, this time the "romantic leads" were flesh and blood humans, from the same time period and everything. I won't say there was no element of the fantastical, because what are talking ghosts and fairy princes if not fantastical? And it seems essential when the setting is Scotland or Ireland. The one thing that kind of annoyed me is that only at the very very end did the issues resolve (and since I'm writing this from the vantage point of having read already book #2 and being a third of the way into book #3, I'll say that it seems to be a theme.) Personally, I like a bit more ending to my stories, not just reconciliation on the last page of the book. Luckily, the characters do appear in the other two books, so at least you do eventually find out what happens to them.
