Would you like to login? Find by Author/Title Author Title WEST, Nathanael The Day of the Locust NY, Random House, (1939). The author's classic novel of Hollywood, a scathing satire based on his own experiences as a screenwriter and for which he has received something approaching literary immortality. His last novel published in his lifetime: West was killed with his wife in a car accident in 1940, apparently after becoming distraught upon hearing of F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, and failing to notice a stop sign. The Day of the Locust remains the crowning achievement of his career, and a novel with influence far beyond the author's overall modest output during his short career; his first book had been published only eight years earlier. A bit of foxing to the foredges of the pages, otherwise a fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket, with none of the fading so typical of this title. The best copy we can recall seeing offered for sale in well over a decade. A beautiful copy. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. SOLD All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help West, Nathanael, original name NATHAN WEINSTEIN, (b . Oct. 17, 1903, New York, N.Y., U.S.d. Dec. 22, 1940, near El Centro, Calif.), American writer best known for satiric novels of the 1930s. Of middle-class Jewish immigrant parentage, he attended high school in New York City and graduated from Brown University in 1924. During a 15-month stay in Paris, he completed his first novel, The Dream Life of Balso Snell, which told the story of an odd assortment of grotesque characters inside the Trojan horse. It was published in 1931 in an edition of only 500 copies. After his return to New York, West supported himself by working as a hotel manager, giving free or low-rent rooms to such struggling fellow writers as Dashiell Hammett, James T. Farrell, and Erskine Caldwell. His second novel, Miss Lonelyhearts (1933), deals with a lovelorn columnist whose manipulative attempts to solace his correspondents end in ironic defeat. In A Cool Million (1934), West effectively mocks the American success dream popularized by Horatio Alger by portraying a hero who slides from bad to worse while doing the supposedly right thing. In his last years West worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.

New York City, grad. Brown Univ., 1924. An innovative, highly original author, West revealed the sterility and grotesqueness underlying the American dream; his vision has profoundly influenced subsequent writers. After spending two years in Paris, he worked as a hotel manager in New York. His first novel, The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931), is a garish satire that foreshadowed the work to follow. Miss Lonelyhearts (1933), his most successful novel, relates the painful life of a columnist for the lovelorn whose misguided priestliness leads him to a tragic and ironic involvement with his suffering correspondents. He also edited and wrote for several magazines and in 1935 moved to Hollywood, where he became a scriptwriter. A Cool Million (1934) was West's bitter indictment of a materialistic world.

West, Nathanael From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Nathanael Greene) Next (Nathaniel Hawthorne) Nathanael West (October 17, 1903 – December 22, 1940) was the pen name of U.S. author, screenwriter, and satirist Nathan Wallenstein Weinstein . West's novels, in particular Miss Lonelyhearts and The Day of the Locust, were influenced by the Depression. In the wake of the stock market crash in October 1929, West's satirical novels with their garish landscapes were in stark contrast to the drab poverty at the time. West saw the American dream as having been betrayed, both spiritually and materially, in the years of this economic depression. His novels were a comic means of drawing attention to that betrayal. Contents Early life Career as author Death His work ... Credits Early life Nathanael West was born in New York City , the first child of German-speaking Russian Jewish parents from Lithuania who maintained an upper-middle class household in a Jewish neighborhood on Manhattan's Upper West Side. West displayed little ambition in academics, dropping out of high school and only gaining admission into Tufts University by forging his high school transcript. After being expelled from Tufts, West got into Brown University by appropriating the transcript of a fellow Tufts student who was also named Nathan Weinstein. Although West did little schoolwork at Brown, he read extensively. He ignored the realist fiction of his American contemporaries in favor of French surrealists and British and Irish poets of the 1890s, in particular

THE DAY OF THE LOCUST By Nathanel WEst. 167 pages New York: The Reading Program Special Editions, 1965 (from 1939 original). Comments by Bob Corbett October 2003 The novel is set in Hollywood in 1939. Most of the characters are in some way related to the film industry, however, they are mainly lowly figures, bit actors, extras, and other sorts of hangers-on. Nathanael West emphasizes the less than glorious lives these folks lead, scratching out a living in hard times. The main character is Tod Hackett. He’s one of the more privileged of the characters. He is by love and intention a serious painter. However, he can’t make a living at painting so he’s come to Hollywood to draw sets, earning a decent living and allowing him to paint on the side. There is also Abe Kusich, a dwarf who works films now and again, Harry Greener, sick and dying, a former comic and clown and Claude Estee, a screen-writer who is fairly successful. Other characters are sort of lower level folks who surround these people. At the center of the novel along with Tod, is Faye Greener, Harry’s daughter. Stunningly beautiful and sexy, she has great hopes of breaking into the films and has her sights set on becoming a major star. Tod, Homer Simpson, (that is REALLY the character’s name in this 1939 novel!) who is in California for his health, and cowboy Earle Sharp are all in love with Faye. She, however, can only love a man who is either very handsome (Earle nearly fills the bill) or very rich, none of them come close to that.

Day of the Locust Nathanael West September 1983 Mass Market Paperback The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature Novel by Nathanael West about the savagery lurking beneath the Hollywood dream. Published in 1939, it is one of the most striking examples of the "Hollywood novel" in American fiction. Tod Hackett, a set designer, becomes involved in the lives of several individuals who have been warped by their proximity to the artificial world of Hollywood. Hackett's completion of his painting "The Burning of Los Angeles" coincides with the explosion of the other characters' unfulfilled dreams in a conflagration of riot and murder.
