A classic study of early Hollywood, each page sizzles with brutality and black humour, as life in the bristling, parched underbelly growls towards a thundering climax. Aspiring young artist Tod Hackett arrives in Los Angeles with grand ambitions and begins working for the movie studios. However, reality soon sets in and the glittering façade of Hollywood fades into the background, as Tod navigates through the lonely and disenfranchised majority, encountering beautiful actress Fay Greener, frustrated accountant Homer Simpson, and a motley crew of cowboys, crooks, and stars on the wax and wane. A classic study of early Hollywood, each page sizzles with brutality and black humour, as life in the bristling, parched underbelly growls towards a thundering climax. ABOUT THE COVER This mixed-media collage, incorporating layers of photography, painting and archive imagery, reects the fake nature of Wests Hollywood and its inhabitants.
Nathaniel West was a prominent American author in the early 20th century best known for his satirical works. West was not well known during his brief lifetime but his unusual style, as well as classics such as Miss Lonelyhearts and The Day of the Locust, has made him much more famous after his death. The Day of the Locust is a novel published in 1939 that is set in Hollywood. The action centers around a young artist who is hired by a Hollywood studio to do design work. The book highlights how the American dream is not always so easy to capture.
