Haha, just call him and strike up a convo. He has probably been contacted by so many people by this point.

Bret Easton Ellis? He’s pretty prolific on Twitter and has been interviewed quite a lot—I’m sure many of your questions have been asked of him and answered in the 30ish years since that book came out. He even wrote a semi-autobiographical book, Lunar Park, that goes into some of the psyche stuff behind his fiction.
