布雷特·伊斯顿·埃利斯（Bret Easton Ellis，1964 年 3 月 7 日－）是美国作家、编剧、短篇小说作家和导演。埃利斯最初被视为所谓的文学小子之一，自称是讽刺作家，作为作家，他的标志性技巧是以无情的风格表达极端行为和观点。他的小说通常共享重复出现的角色。
埃利斯 21 岁时，出版了他的第一部小说，备受争议的畅销书《小于零》（1985 年）。他的第三部小说《美国精神病人》（1991）是他最成功的一部。在其发行后，文学界广泛谴责它过于暴力和厌恶女性。尽管许多禁止这本书的请愿看到埃利斯被西蒙和舒斯特放弃，但响亮的争议说服了阿尔弗雷德·A·克诺夫 (Alfred A. Knopf) 于当年晚些时候将其作为平装本发行。埃利斯的小说变得越来越元虚构。伪回忆录和鬼故事《月球公园》（2005）获得了正面评价。作为《小于零》的续集上市的《帝国卧室》（2010 年）继续沿用这一脉络。
埃利斯的四部作品已被拍成电影。 《小于零》于 1987 年被改编为同名电影，但这部电影与小说几乎没有相似之处。 Mary Harron 改编的 American Psycho 于 2000 年发行。Roger Avary 改编的 The Rules of Attraction 于 2002 年发行。The Informers 由 Ellis 合着并根据他的短篇小说集于 2008 年发行。Ellis 还撰写了2013年电影《峡谷》的剧本。

Combining personal reflection and social observation, Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction is an incendiary polemic about this young century's failings, e-driven and otherwise, and at once an example, definition, and defense of what "freedom of speech" truly means.

Bret Easton Ellis has wrestled with the double-edged sword of fame and notoriety for more than thirty years now, sinceLess Than Zerocatapulted him into the limelight in 1985, earning him devoted fans and, perhaps, even fiercer enemies. An enigmatic figure who has always gone against the grain and refused categorization, he captured the depravity of the eighties with one of contemporary literature's most polarizing characters,American Psycho's iconic, terrifying Patrick Bateman. In recent years, his candor and gallows humor on both Twitter and his podcast have continued his legacy as someone determined to speak the truth, however painful it might be, and whom people accordingly either love or love to hate. He encounters various positions and voices controversial opinions, more often than not fighting the status quo.
Now, inWhite, with the same originality displayed in his fiction, Ellis pours himself out onto the page and, in doing so, eviscerates the perceived good that the social-media age has wrought, starting with the dangerous cult of likeability.Whiteis both a denunciation of censorship, particularly the self-inflicted sort committed in hopes of being "accepted," and a bracing view of a life devoted to authenticity.
Provocative, incisive, funny, and surprisingly poignant,Whitereveals not only what is visible on the glittering, pristine surface but also the riotous truths that are hidden underneath.
