The name "Literary Brat Pack" was given to a trio of up and coming, young, and mediagenic authors in the 1980s: Jay McInerney, Bret Easton Ellis, and Tama Janowitz. While their books did not have much in common, they were seen by the public as closely related because of the way they were typical 80s celebrities, making videos on MTV, partying with models, and so on.
