Bret Easton Ellis has spent most of his career causing controversy. His best selling books include Less Than Zero and American Psycho. His latest book, White, is also provoking reaction around the globe. It's non-fiction and described as a "wide ranging exploration of what the hell is going on right now." He says White is about an homage to his favouirte non fiction writer and is taking aim at the millennials whom he says are crybabies and professional victims. He speaks to Jim about the book, being a white privileged male and why he's amused by the way press deals with U.S President Donald Trump.
