Here's part of a recent interview with BEE that I find interesting, disturbing, and somewhat germane:
Quote:
JC: It's funny, at the reading last night I heard a girl behind me talking, and she was like, oh, Glamorama is my least favorite of his novels.
BEE: That's interesting, because at the reading last night I saw three guys from Long Island who looked like they were mechanics. They were wearing overalls and they looked kind of hickey and I thought, okay, they're gonna pull out their tattered copies of American Psycho, but no- they were all about Glamorama. They knew it by heart. They knew all of its secrets; they knew the code of Glamorama. They knew the secret of Bruce Reinhart, which was something that blew me away. They wanted certain quotes scrawled into their copies, and that was one of the most memorable things about last night.

What the hell is the secret of Bruce Reinhart? There's definitely something strange about the character, but the novel in itself is strange, so I haven't given much thought to him, until now.
Also, if anyone's interested, here's a link to the rest of the interview:
