The Day of the Locust (1939)

Posted on 09:28 by john cena
USA
Novel
Author: Nathanael West

West’s masterful novel – an exploration of a violent world in which beautiful 17 year old platinum-blonde prostitutes rub shoulders with impoverished Mexicans, handsome cowboys, emotionally unstable accountants, angry dwarves, and talented artists – is a scathingly brilliant portrait of the broken dreams that litter the streets of Los Angeles, and a metaphor for society’s impending self-implosion.
