Tonally odd essay on Bateman's own arrested development. Funny in flashes but remarkably hostile toward most characters.
VOR:②
Noteworthy insofar as it lifts the hood a bit on the scurrilous aggression barely suppressed by even the more superficially amiable of our boyman stars. Skippable in every other dimension.
