About This Novel
This is a classic alongside "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Great Gatsby"! The author Nathaniel West is the world's master of near-misses, and is as famous as Thomas Wolfe and William Faulkner! Edmund Wilson said: "What West writes about is not the lack of material things, but the poverty and disease of the soul." "Miss Lonely Hearts" is a popular heart-to-heart column in the New York Post. Readers wrote to ask: Why am I so humble? Why is my life so miserable? Empty and helpless hearts and broken souls hide in the dark night, calling out to Miss Lonely Heart from the bottom of life: Help me! Letter after letter is like a heavy cross. Miss Lonely Heart doesn't know how to help these people who have been hit hard by life, let alone how to save herself who is becoming increasingly overwhelmed.
