  1. Bret Easton Ellis _ Less Than Zero

    Hubo un largo silencio y sólo se oyó la brisa del desierto y el sonido del jacuzzi calentándose y de la piscina vaciándose. También se oía a Frank Sinatra cantando «Summer Wind», y recé para que el director dijera el nombre. Por algún motivo me parecía muy importante. Necesitaba que el director dijera el nombre. El director abrió la boca y dijo: -Lo he olvidado.

    – Мне кажется, лучше умереть при крушении самолета, чем любой другой смертью, – спустя некоторое время произнес отец. – Я думаю, это было бы кошмарно. – Ничего бы не было. Ты вваливаешься в самолет, принимаешь либриум, самолет взлетает и падает, а ты так ничего и не знаешь. – Отец закинул ногу на ногу. За столом воцарилось молчание. Единственные звуки исходили от моих сестер и кузин, тешащихся в воде. – А ты что думаешь? – спросила тетя мою мать. – Я стараюсь не думать о таких вещах, – ответила мать. – А ты, мам? – спросил отец бабушку. Бабушка, не произнесшая ничего за целый день, вытерла рот и очень тихо сказала: – А я бы вообще не хотела умирать."

  3. Bret Easton Ellis _ Less Than Zero

    There are some guys sitting at tables who all look at this one gorgeous girl, longingly, hoping for at least one dance or a blow job in Daddy's car and there are all these girls, looking indifferent or bored, smoking clove cigarettes, all of them or at least most of them staring at one blond-haired boy standing in the back with sunglasses on.

    When I flush the toilet in my bathroom, it becomes stopped up with Kleenex, and blood clouds the water and I put down the lid, because there's nothing else for me to do.

    It's hard to feel sorry for someone who doesn't care.""Yeah?" I ask."What do you care about? What makes you happy?""Nothing. Nothing make me happy. I like nothing.

  6. Bret Easton Ellis _ Less Than Zero

    Julian's not at the house in Bel Air, but there's a note on the door saying that he might be at some house on King's Road. Julian's not at the house on King's Road either, but some guy with braces and short platinum-blond hair and a bathing suit on lifting weights is in the backyard. He puts one of the weights down and lights a cigarette and asks me if I want a Quaalude. I ask him where Julian is. There's a girl lying by the pool on a chaise longue, blond, drunk, and she says in a really tired voice, 'Oh, Julian could be anywhere. Does he owe you money?' The girl has brought a television outside and is watching some movie about cavemen. 'No,' I tell her. 'Well, that's good. He promised to pay for a gram of coke I got him.' She shakes her head. 'Nope. He never did.' She shakes her head again, slowly, her voice thick, a bottle of gin, half-empty, by her side. The weightlifter with the braces on asks me if I want to buy a Temple of Doom bootleg cassette. I tell him no and then ask him to tell Julian that I stopped by. The weight-lifter nods his head like he doesn't understand and the girl asks him if he got the backstage passes to the Missing Persons concert. He says, 'Yeah, baby,' and she jumps in the pool. Some caveman gets thrown off a cliff and I split.

  7. Bret Easton Ellis _ Less Than Zero

    There was a song I heard when I was in Los Angeles by a local group. The song was called 'Los Angeles' and the words and images were so harsh and bitter that the song would reverberate in my mind for days. The images, I later found out, were personal and no one I knew shared them. The images I had were of people being driven mad by living in the city. Images of parents who were so hungry and unfulfilled that they ate their own children. Images of people, teenagers my own age, looking up from the asphalt and being blinded by the sun. These images stayed with me even after I left the city. Images so violent and malicious that they seemed to be my only point of reference for a long time afterwards. After I left.

    – Ну что тебе не все равно? Что тебе нравится? – Ничего. Мне ничего не нравится, – говорю я. – Я когда-нибудь что нибудь для тебя значила, Клей? Я молчу, опять смотрю на меню. – Я когда нибудь что нибудь для тебя значила? – снова спрашивает она. – Я не хочу, чтобы кто-то для меня что-то значил. Так только хуже, одно лишнее беспокойство. Когда ничего не волнует, не так больно.

    And as the elevator descends, passing the second floor, and the first floor, going even farther down, I realize that the money doesn't matter. That all that does is that I want to see the worst.

    I want to go back," Daniel says, quietly, with effort."Where?" I ask, unsure.There's a long pause that kind of freaks me out and Daniel finishes his drink and fingers the sunglasses he's still wearing and says, "I don't know. Just back.
