Books with title White

May finds herself transported to what looks like the middle of the Sahara Desert just outside Yuma near the Imperial Sand Dunes. Her father is supposed to work at a nearby military base. They move into a house near the dunes that used to be inhabited by the pioneers a century or more ago. At night she hears sighs and moans. She thinks she sees a white lady with long fingers and long hair out in the desert at night. Sometimes when the wind blows she hears her screams. At night she feels the lady touching her cheeks.May had better get out of the desert fast. The winds are blowing harder all the time. A giant sandstorm picks her up off her feet. Even worse, the howling winds seem to have the voice of that woman from long ago.

Candid, fearless and provocative – the author of American Psycho on who he is and what he thinks is wrong with the world today. Bret Easton Ellis is most famous for his era-defining novel American Psycho and its terrifying anti-hero, Patrick Bateman. With that book, and many times since, Ellis proved himself to be one of the world’s most fearless and clear-sighted observers of society – the glittering surface and the darkness beneath.In White, his first work of non-fiction, Ellis offers a wide-ranging exploration of what the hell is going on right now. He tells personal stories from his own life. He writes with razor-sharp precision about the music, movies, books and TV he loves and hates. He examines the ways our culture, politics and relationships have changed over the last four decades. He talks about social media, Hollywood celebrities and Donald Trump. Ellis considers conflicting positions without flinching and adheres to no status quo. His forthright views are powered by a fervent belief in artistic freedom and freedom of speech. Candid, funny, entertaining and blisteringly honest, he offers opinions that are impossible to ignore and certain to provoke. What he values above all is the truth. ‘The culture at large seemed to encourage discourse,’ he writes, ‘but what it really wanted to do was shut down the individual.’ Bret Easton Ellis will not be shut down.
