Synopsis
"Somehow or other I seem to have slipped in between all the 'schools,' " observed Nathanael West the year before his untimely death in 1940. "My books meet no needs except my own, their circulation is practically private and I'm lucky to be published." Yet today, West is widely recognized as a prophetic writer whose dark and comic vision of a society obsessed with mass- produced fantasies foretold much of what was to come in American life. Miss Lonelyhearts (1933), which West envisioned as "a novel in the form of a comic strip," tells of an advice-to-the-lovelorn columnist who becomes tragically embroiled in the desperate lives of his readers. The Day of the Locust (1939) is West's great dystopian Hollywood novel based on his experiences at the seedy fringes of the movie industry. "The work of Nathanael West, savagely, comically, tragically original, has come into its own," said novelist and screenwriter Budd Schulberg. "A new public [has] discovered in the writings of West a brilliant reflection of its own sense of chaos and helplessness in a world running more to madness than to reason.", Two short novels, one set in New York and the other in Hollywood, dramatically depict the extremes of the human condition and the destructive forces pervading modern American life.

- k***u (22)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis book is BEAUTIFUL, not Acceptable, as described. I would have bought it last month had I known. Arrived 3 days early. A few things that made me think it was worth buying. One, when I was told the condition was better than described. Two, the seller is a non-profit, and, completely irrelevant to the book, when I looked at the photographed inside pages closely, there is a character with my son's name, Jeremiah. I suggest doing better descriptions, rather than everything labeled as Acceptable.Nurses Are People - Lucy Agnes Hancock (Hardcover, 1942) (#155664576968)
