Lunar Park Tour Hits Spain

There is a brief mention that Bret is currently Madrid doing publicity in support of Lunar Park. I thought he was finished with the Euro tour by now.

UPDATE: Some great info from the comments section on Ellis' tour of Europe.
Johannes has posted a description of Bret's recent reading in Munich, and Philipp has added a summary of BEE's visit to Zurich.

Ellis Promotes Eat The Document

Another back of the book jacket recommendation from BEE, this time for Dana Spiotta's new novel Eat the Document.

"With only her second book Dana Spiotta has become, I think, a major American writer. The ironic connections she makes between the cultural divide of the early '70s and late '90x are chilling and delicious. This scary and often brilliant novel comes together beautifully in the end - there's an intense satisfaction of seeing everything link up so movingly and with such warmth, and yet Spiotta is the only female writer I know whose prose remins me of the cool ambient poetry and steely precision of Don DeLillo, and Eat the Document is as darkly exact and thrilling as the political novels of Joan Didion." - Bret Easton Ellis

Its pretty obvious from reading many of Bret's back flap recommendations who his favorite author is - Don DeLillo. He can't help but compare everyone he reviews to him. The only DeLillo book I've read was Libra - his alternative history book about Lee Harvey Oswald.
