Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Nathanael West (1903-1940) - original name Nathan Weinstein (until 1926) American writer who died in a car crash at thirty-seven. Nathanael West published four novels. It was in France, posthumously, after World War II, that he first attracted attention. In his works West examined the reverse side of liberty and freedom - dreams turned into nightmare, or what he called "the secret inner life of masses". "At college, and perhaps for a year afterwards, they had believed in literature, had believed in Beauty and in personal expression as an absolute end. When they lost this belief, they lost everything. Money and fame meant nothing to them. They were not worldly men." (from Miss Lonelyhearts Nathanael West was born Nathan Weinstein in New York, N.Y., the son of immigrant German Jews from Lithuania. His mother was Anna (Wallenstein) Weinstein, and father, Max Weinstein, a construction contractor. As a young man West showed little ambition. Forging a false transcript, he entered Brown University, Providence, where he befriended the writer and humorist S.J. Perelman – he married West's sister. During these years he began to draw cartoons and write short surrealistic sketches, which he later collected as the novel THE DREAM LIFE OF BALSO SNELL (1931). West did not take his studies seriously – he borrowed his cousin's work and presented it as his own and failed a crucial course in modern drama.

This formidably-named milieu can pass all but unnoticed astride the whir of Interstate-8. It stands a paradox - a place where agriculture impugns the harsh realities of the desert, where pastoral farmlands defy the ever-expansive urban center to the west, where past and present remain eerily coalesced. El Centro marks not "the center" but rather the fringe of Southern California, making it a true point of entry into the world of Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust . And oddly, it was here among the convolution of El Centro, on the edge of his literary wasteland, where a 1940 automobile accident cut short West's magnificent genius. But like the world his work immortalized, Nathanael West has never held beyond the reach of contradiction. West's life and legacy have continued to weave with a thread of bitter irony. While many closely associate The Day of the Locust with California in general and Hollywood in particular, West was neither a native of the region nor claimed the Golden State as home for very long. In fact, the author found Los Angeles quite unwittingly and only by the cynosure of early failure. Born Nathan Weinstein in 1903 to a prominent Jewish-immigrant family, West (he would adopt the anglicized pen name in 1926) grew up amid the ethnic and intellectual ferment of early-century New York. A disinterested if not lazy student, West won admission, by means of questionable scruple, to Tufts University and eventually to Brown, where he fell into a circle of aspiring young writers. After a several-year stay among the bohemia and avant-garde of "Lost Generation" Paris, West began work on his first novel

CBA Menu Nathanael West Notes West became an artist and satirist in compensation for his inability to conform and succeed along conventional paths. Jay Martin, Nathanael West: The Art of His Life Nathanael West completed four novels before his untimely death in a car accident. In order of publication the novels are: The Dream Life of Balso Snell Miss Lonelyhearts A Cool Million The Day of the Locust West's novels represent his response to the appearance of the values of consumerism in the United States of the 1930s. With the rise of consumerism and commodity fetishism the distinction between image and reality is critically blurred. West was one of the first writers to see this situation developing. And his novel, The Day of the Locust is about Hollywood, the capital of the American business of image manufacturing. In that novel West depicts the consequences of the blurring of the line between substance and image. But his political views, clearly left-of-center, and influenced by, among other sources, the Spenglerian analysis of cultural decline, are themselves surface details. The deeper details about West concern themselves with his attempts to come to terms with the function of the creative artist in a culture that has begun devaluating the individual. What does it mean to be a writer in this new "modern" age?

Hot Links True West During the 1930s, a master of the short novel hallucinated a grotesque, erotic America we can recognize as our own by Virginia Heffernan NATHANAEL WEST: NOVELS AND OTHER WRITINGS, edited by Sacvan Bercovitch. Library of America, 829 pages, $35. Late in 1926, a 23-year-old graduate of Brown University changed his name from Nathan Weinstein to Nathanael West and left for Paris to think about being a writer. "I was asked to all the parties," West would write later and this, rather than any substantial work on his fiction, was proof to him that his expatriation had been a success. For West, whose enigmatic, darkly funny novels went on to garner praise from F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edmund Wilson, becoming a writer meant first developing a persona that would simultaneously attract artists and perplex "tourists and the folks back home." The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931) through his inspired novel of Hollywood, The Day of the Locust (1939), West developed a style of Dada-inspired "superrealism" that would amplify the anger, the secrets, and the fantasies of Depression-era America.

WEST, NATHANAEL WEST, NATHANAEL (pseudonym of Nathan Wallenstein Weinstein . He began his first novel during his student days at Brown University. Later published as The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931), this was a surrealistic fantasy dwelling on human corruption. It shows the influence of western European symbolists such as James Joyce and other modern experimental writers, particularly those of France. For six years, beginning in 1927, he was a hotel manager in New York. During that time he worked at developing a prose style marked by economy of diction, poetic richness, and psychological depth, and published his second novel, Miss Lonelyhearts (1933). Though it was his masterpiece, it was not a popular success. It depicted a once-cynical newspaper columnist dispensing compassion, love, and help to victims of personal or social failure. A Cool Million (1934) satirized American fascists veiling themselves in democratic values, myths, and history. From 1935 he worked in Hollywood, remaining there as a scriptwriter until his death in an automobile accident. His fourth novel, The Day of the Locust BIBLIOGRAPHY: V. Comerchero
