  • ""Miss Lonelyhearts -- compared by Flannery O'Connor to Faulkner's As I Lay Dying -- is about a newspaper reporter assigned to write the agony column, but, caught up in a vision of suffering, he seeks a way out (through art, sex, religion), only to be rebuffed at every turn by his cynical editor Shrike. The Day of the Locust -- considered by many to be the best novel ever written about Hollywood -- is about Tod Hackett, who hopes for a career in set design only to discover the boredom and emptiness of Hollywood's inhabitants. In the end, only blood will serve. The day of the locust is at hand ..."--Publisher's website."
  • "GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. In the story, Miss Lonelyhearts is an unnamed male newspaper columnist writing an advice column which is seen by the newspaper staff as a joke. As Miss Lonelyhearts reads letters from desperate New Yorkers, he feels terribly burdened and falls into a cycle of deep depression, accompanied by heavy drinking and occasional bar fights. He is also the victim of the pranks and cynical advice of his feature editor at the newspaper, "Shrike". Miss Lonelyhearts tries several approaches to escape the terribly painful letters he has to read through religion, trips to the countryside with his fiancee Betty, and sex with Shrike's wife and Mrs. Doyle, a reader of his column. However, Miss Lonelyhearts' efforts do not seem to ameliorate his situation. After his sexual encounter with Mrs. Doyle, he meets her husband, a poor crippled man."
  • "Considered classics of American literature, Nathaneal West's Miss Lonelyhearts and The Day of the Locust reveal America at the height of the Great Depression, evoking the disillusionment and despair of that time. Miss Lonelyhearts explores the suffering a young advice columnist working for a New York City newspaper. Locked into a deep depression as the result of his work, Miss Lonelyhearts seeks comfort in drink, in religion, and in the meaningless affair that becomes his downfall. In The Day of the Locust, aspiring artist Tod Hackett falls in love with Faye Greener, a beautiful starlet with big dreams. Through his work as a costume designer and his burgeoning friendship with Faye, Tod is introduced to the world behind the movies, and the varied and unusual characters that populate the fringes of Hollywood.

  • "Eine schwarze Komödie im New York der 20er-Jahre Scheinheiligkeit, Scheinmoral, Scheinentrüstung - das ging im Medienzirkus schon immer zusammen und tut es bis heute. Nathanael West zeigt in seiner flammenden Satire, wie dreist im modernen Pressewesen getäuscht und geheuchelt wird. Mit seiner "Miss Lonelyhearts" präsentiert er eine wunderbar ambivalente Schlüsselfigur des grossen Bluffs. "Haben Sie Sorgen? Schreiben Sie an Miss Lonelyhearts!" - Die Leserschaft des New Yorker Post-Dispatch macht regen Gebrauch von der Offerte, und die Briefe in der Redaktion stapeln sich höher und höher. Ob es um Pubertätsnöte geht, um Inzest oder gebrochene Herzen - Miss Lonelyhearts hat garantiert die passenden Worte auf Lager. Dass die beliebte Trostspenderin in Wahrheit eine durch und durch trostlose Existenz ist, wissen nur die feixenden Kollegen. Schonungslos deckt der Roman den faulen Zauber eines Systems auf, das auf billigsten Illusionismus setzt und Menschen vorsätzlich für dumm verkauft. "'Miss Lonelyhearts' ist aus dem Stoff, aus dem unsere Zeitungen sind - bloss dass West die Wahrheit erzählt." (Dashiell Hammett) Nathanael West (1904-1940), Sohn litauischer Juden, wurde als Nathan Weinstein in New York geboren. In den 1930er-Jahren Drehbuchschreiber in Hollywood, war er mit so namhaften Schriftstellerkollegen wie F. Scott Fitzgerald oder Dashiell Hammett befreundet. Sein schmales, aber hochkarätiges Erzählwerk weist ihn als gewitzten Kritiker neuzeitlicher Glücksideologien aus."
  • "Wildly funny, desperately sad, brutal and kind, furious and patient, there was no other like Nathanael West.' - Dorothy Parker 'In dark times, Miss Lonelyhearts shines the brightest light in the blackest places. For this reason West's novel has never felt more alive than today' - The Daily Beast 'A masterpiece ... ' - Jonathan Lethem. Day after day, 'Miss Lonelyhearts' sits in his office responding to letters from 'Broken-hearted, Sick-of-it-all, and Desperate', dispensing words of hope, inspiration, and other platitudes to get his readers through their tormented days. But it's all getting to be too much for Miss Lonelyhearts. Under the weight of his colleagues' mockery and the endless gloom of his correspondence, Miss Lonelyheart finds himself crippled with cynicism and dysfunction. Set in New York City at the height of the Great Depression, Miss Lonelyhearts stands as one of the most intelligent and hilarious works of the 20th Century. Laced with dark humour, irony, and razor-sharp insight, this novel is as hauntingly relevant today as it was nearly a hundred years ago."@en

Locked into a deep depression as the result of his work, Miss Lonelyhearts seeks comfort in drink, religion, and in the meaningless affair that becomes his downfall. Written during the depths of the Great Depression, Nathaneal West's Miss Lonelyhearts is evocative of the public's disillusionment with the society of the time.
