Abstract

A literary criticism is presented of the 2005 novel "Lunar Park" by Bret Easton Ellis. Topics discussed include the novel's dealing with feelings of emasculation by men and feelings of disempowerment by writers, the use of and meaning of ghosts in the novel, and the ways in which Ellis' own life and experiences are used in his fiction.
