Novelist Bret Easton Ellis, born in Los Angeles (1964). He grew up in California, but he went to college in Vermont, as far away from California as possible. And it was there, at Bennington College, that he took a creative writing class with true crime writer Joe McGinnis, and wrote a series of stories about substance abuse and the sex lives of California teenagers.
McGinnis loved the stories and showed them to his agent, and the result was Ellis's first book, Less Than Zero (1985) which came out when he was only 21. The book became a best-seller, and Ellis went on to write many more novels, including American Psycho (1991) and Glamorama (2000).
