Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback 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. He studied at Brown University, Providence, where he befriended the writer and humorist S.J. Perelman - he married West's sister. During these years he started 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.

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?

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

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.

Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1997. xx + 182 pp. $50.00 cloth; $19.95 paper. Veitch's introduction situates West within the social milieu of the 1930s, the decade in which his entire writing career took place, by describing the specifically American problem West's social criticism addresses. According to Veitch, Americans in the 1930s experienced a "crisis of representation" because they were unable to represent the social reality of the Great Depression, to discern the forces responsible for their misery. He finds this crisis not only in literary works, but also in historical studies of the period and documentary evidence like photographs. The main aesthetic response to this problem, he argues, is exemplified by writers like Steinbeck, who offered an oversimplified pastoralism in which "the particularity of lived experience" was pitted against "the abstract forces of modernity" (9). The remaining chapters trace the development of West's markedly different vision.
