@import url("css/iereview.css"); Search WWW Search brothersjudd.com Home Reviews Links Blog ... Miss Lonelyhearts Author Info: Nathanael West Let's start from the beginning. A man is hired to give advice to the readers of a newspaper. The job is a circulation stunt and the whole staff considers it a joke. He welcomes the job, for it might lead to a gossip column, and anyway he's tired of being a leg man. He too considers the job a joke, but after several months at it, the joke begins to escape him. He sees that the majority of the letters are profoundly humble pleas for moral and spiritual advice, that they are inarticulate expressions of genuine suffering. He also discovers that his correspondents take him seriously. For the first time in his life, he is forced to examine the values by which he lives. This examination shows him that he is the victim of the joke and not its perpetrator. -Nathanael West (Miss Lonelyhearts) Miss Lonelyhearts has been hired as a wiseacre stunt, to dispense snide advice to yokels. But in the face of their pain and their need for answers, the empty piffle that he serves up begins to eat away at his soul. The whole thing is supposed to be an elaborate put on, so his editor won't let him give the real answers that he longs to share, that Christ and the word of God are the only solutions to their problems. The result: "By avoiding God, he had failed to tap the force in his heart and had merely written a column for his paper." Lonelyhearts, plagued by his failure to help his correspondents, retreats into dreams before almost inevitably enacting a kind of messianic tragedy, ending in the obligatory crucifix scene.

Nathanael West - (1903-1940) Los Angeles By Blair Davis, Melissa Fong, and Stefanie Kostich San Pedro High School in San Pedro, California After the death and destruction of World War II, Nathanael West became fascinated with the hypocrisy created by the capitalism of the 1920's. This American writer, who satirized the American Dream, wrote of the secret "inner life of the masses". This inner life was the power of dreams and desires that ultimately lead to violence. During the Depression West's novels reveal the absurdity of the American Dream. I. Biography West was born in 1903 in New York City, New York to Max and Anna (Wallenstein) Weinstein. His Jewish family was financially supported by his father, a construction contractor, and spiritually supported by his mother, with her traditional Jewish influence. West showed no ambition as a young man. While attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island West did not take his studies seriously. He would draw cartoons and write short surrealistic stories. During his time at Brown, West became a friend of S.J. Perelman, who later married West's sister. In 1926, two years after graduating with a PhD, he changed his name from Nathan Weinstein to Nathanael West. He spent a few years in Paris where he wrote his first novel, The Dream Life of Balso Snell When West returned home he managed two small hotels, The Kenmore Hall (1927) and the Sutton Club Hotel (1930-1933). During this time, West would provide free board to many interesting aspiring writers. In the early thirties West worked as a journalist. His experiences as a hotel manager and journalist gave him the inspiration and material for his second novel

University of South Carolina Department of Religious Studies RELIGIOUS STUDIES HOME FACULTY UNDERGRADUATE PARTNERSHIPS ... GRADUATE Nathanael West and American Apocalyptic Kevin Lewis One should begin by declaring one's interest. For me, literature and its criticism is a sub-field of the history of ideas. And what I care about in literature (and all the arts) is the powerful contribution it makes, in its privileged language, to the discussion, implicit as well as explicit, in every period and place, of the ideas through which we chart our relations to each other, to the past, the future, and the elusive transcendent. My subject here - it has a long resonance in the history of western ideas - is the enduring European American myth of apocalypse: that narrative myth which, for three and a half centuries, in various forms, like a reaction formation to provocation or trauma, has made responding protest to the primary and preferred myth of American self-understanding through the 'city on a hill,' the 'last best hope, the New Eden, the New Adam, and the comprehensive prosperity gospel of the American Dream itself. I will proceed first by summarizing an insightful analytic observation by the extraordinary Canadian Americanist scholar, Sacvan Bercovitch, linking these two myths; then by, drawing attention to the curious personality and career in prophecy as a fiction writer of Nathanael West, now dead for nearly sixty years; then by casting the great un-read American classic, and still the best novel written about Hollywood, West's

Hot Links True West During the 1930s, a master of the short novel hallucinated a grotesque, erotic America we can recognize as our own by Virginia Heffernan NATHANAEL WEST: NOVELS AND OTHER WRITINGS, edited by Sacvan Bercovitch. Library of America, 829 pages, $35. Late in 1926, a 23-year-old graduate of Brown University changed his name from Nathan Weinstein to Nathanael West and left for Paris to think about being a writer. "I was asked to all the parties," West would write later and this, rather than any substantial work on his fiction, was proof to him that his expatriation had been a success. For West, whose enigmatic, darkly funny novels went on to garner praise from F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edmund Wilson, becoming a writer meant first developing a persona that would simultaneously attract artists and perplex "tourists and the folks back home." The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931) through his inspired novel of Hollywood, The Day of the Locust (1939), West developed a style of Dada-inspired "superrealism" that would amplify the anger, the secrets, and the fantasies of Depression-era America.

West was the son of Jewish immigrants Max Weinstein, a prosperous building contractor, and Anna Wallenstein Weinstein. Mr. Weinstein wanted his son to go into the family business and gave Nathan copies of the Horatio Alger books, a series of novels in which honest young men do well for themselves in business. West, whose friends gave him the nickname Pep because he was so lazy, was uninterested in the typical trappings of upper middle-class success and dropped out of high school. He lied his way into Tufts University, which expelled him for poor grades, and then got himself admitted to Brown University by using someone... This is a free excerpt. For the full page get the:
