Synopsis
In MISS LONELY HEARTS, Nathanael West's classic novel, an advice columnist for a New York City newspaper is disheartened and disillusioned by the desperate letters he receives. Eventually, he begins actually getting involved in the lives of his letter-writers, a move he comes to regret deeply. First published in 1933, MISS LONELYHEARTS was critically acclaimed, but when its publisher went bankrupt it was taken out of circulation, and West made almost no money from the book. West's final book, THE DAY OF THE LOCUST focuses on the fringes of Hollywood. Tod Hackett, late of Yale, designs sets for movies. Poor, awaiting inspiration for a great painting, he frequents the underbelly of California life, meeting various frustrated characters: a shy bookkeeper from Iowa, a smart-aleck child actress, a raging dwarf, and an ingenue.
