"A sun-blazed Polaroid of its moment." (Jonathan Letham)
In The Day of the Locust, a young artist, Tod Hackett, arrives in LA full of dreams, but celebrity and artifice rule, and he soon joins the ranks of the disenchanted drifting around Hollywood's fringes.
When he meets Faye Greener, an aspiring actress, he is intoxicated, and his desperate passion explodes into rage.
Miss Lonelyhearts is a darkly comic, off-kilter tale set in early 1930s New York.
A nameless man is assigned to produce a newspaper advice column, initially as a joke, but as letters from the desperate and disillusioned pile up, the joke begins to escape him.
Dorothy Parker described Nathanael West as "Wildly funny, desperately sad, brutal and kind, furious and patient—there was no other like Nathanael West."
