Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1939. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Slightly cocked and the paper spine label is a trifle darkened from binder's glue, both flaws which seem endemic to the book, else near fine in a bright, very good dustwrapper with small chips at the top of the front panel, and at the crown, but which has been spared the professional restoration that most copies we have seen lately seem to have undergone. The timeless and quintessential Hollywood novel in which West explores the frustration, violence, and savagery beneath the glamour and glitz. Increasingly scarce. Interesting Hollywood provenance, available on request.
Sinopsis
The Day of the Locust is a 1939 novel by American author Nathanael West, set in Hollywood, California during the Great Depression, depicting the alienation and desperation of a disparate group of individuals who exist at the fringes of the movie industry. Time Magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005, and noted critic Harold Bloom included it in his list of canonical works in the book The Western Canon.
