The Informers

About “The Informers”

Set in Los Angeles in the 1980s, this book centers on characters at the top of the heap — a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster — and at the bottom, a voyeuristic doorman and an amoral ex-con, connected by beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night with total abandon, dancing on the edge of a volcano. A 1994 short story collection by Bret Easton Ellis.
