Less Than Zero—when he was barely in his 20s—which quickly became a buzzy movie starring Robert Downey, Jr.Since then, he’s remained in the conversation with more divisive novels and their splashy adaptations (American Psycho, The Rules Of Attraction), a few less successful attempts at film (The Canyons with Lindsay Lohan), and a public perception as a “provocateur,” someone who rarely pulls punches.Surprisingly, he hadn’t written a novel in over 13 years, finally returning to the page earlier this year with loosely autobiographical coming-of-age thriller, The Shards.The story finds a successful author named Bret recalling his senior year of high school in 1981 Los Angeles.

Through his narration, we meet his cool kid clique of friends—most of them the wealthy children of entertainment industry power players—as well as an enigmatic new student named Robert Mallory.We also learn about a serial killer stalking the Hollywood Hills, dubbed the “Trawler” by the press, who taunts his victims with phone calls and missing items before mutilating their bodies.

Bret becomes suspicious that Robert is the culprit, and grows increasingly paranoid as the newcomer ingratiates himself to his friend group.Meanwhile, Bret (the character) is exploring his sexuality.

Though he has a girlfriend, he’s also enjoying secret, casual hookups with a few of his male classmates—a hobby that winds up twisting him further into the central mystery.Like much of Ellis’ work, The Shards concerns itself with disaffected beautiful young people who fill their time with sex and drugs, taking the sheen off their glamorous lives by exploring a dark underbelly of abuse and violence.If that all sounds a bit like “Euphoria + a serial killer,” well, it’s worth.

Life Advice Ask Jake My sister-in-law keeps demanding to know if I’m a top or a bottom and it’s getting weird
Hey Jake,Happily married 30-something gay guy here, dealing with a not-so-happy in-law situation. For the most part, I like my husband’s family. They are accepting and supportive, and we all get along well. Except for my sister-in-law. She’s eight years older than me and honestly kind of weird. On more than one occasion now she has asked me whether I’m a top or a bottom. She seems fascinated with knowing, and I’m not sure why. I’ve never answered because…1) I don’t think it’s any of her business and 2) My husband is her younger brother. If I answered, I’d also be sharing private information about his sex life, which I don’t understand why she wants to know about that anyway!?!?I’ve told her before that I’m not comfortable discussing my bedroom preferences with her, but it’s almost like she’s made it her life’s mission to find out. I’ve also told my husband about it, and he doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal. But if the situation were reversed and I were an older man constantly grilling my significantly younger sister-in-law on her favorite sexual position, I’m pretty sure everyone would agree that’s not okay. It’s gotten to a point where I try to avoid family gatherings if I know she’s going to be there, simply because I don’t want to deal with her, and/or worry about feeling interrogated over my sex life. I feel at a total loss for what to do about it.Brother-In-LeeryDear Brother-In-Leery,In case you still had any doubt, let me start by saying that this behavior by your sister-in-law is both strange and creepy.
