Bret Easton Ellis was highly influenced by Joan Didion as n his first novel Less Than Zero.

Have you tried Joan Didion’s novels? Play It As It Lays is wonderful. Also, it’s short stories, not a novel, but I absolutely adore A Manual for Cleaning Women by Lucia Berlin and it reminds me a lot of the writing you mentioned. Cassandra at the Wedding is another novel that has a similar style to me.
