Miss Lonelyhearts (1933), which West envisioned as \"a novel in the form of a comic strip, \" tells of an advice-to-the-lovelorn columnist who becomes tragically embroiled in the desperate lives of his readers. The Day of the Locust (1939) is West's great dystopian Hollywood novel based on his experiences at the seedy fringes of the movie industry.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Miss Lonelyhearts \u0026 the Day of the Locust | Nathanael West | Paperback | 9780811218221 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1696682","offer_id":48753948229784,"sku":"1696682","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/611FV-PfvnL.jpg?v=1774070163","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/miss-lonelyhearts-the-day-of-the-locust","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
