About the Author
Nathanael West is often compared to his close friend F. Scott Fitzgerald, but the dark humor and muscularity of his work offers something distinct to modern readers, exploring as it does the artifice and the dark reality of the human experience in the face of infinite promise - also know as 'the American Dream'.
Review
“Los Angeles has been the subject of, and setting for, many fine novels yet The Day of the Locust still feels like the single best-achieved piece of fiction the city has inspired.”
- The Los Angeles Times
“West's Day of the Locust, a sun-blazed Polaroid of its time, seems permanently oracular.”
- Jonathan Lethem
“Nathanael West's humor is of course not at the expense of the victim. It is a horselaugh at a world that is too ugly and bitter to be dealt with in any other way.”
- The New York Times
