Along w/ the 4 novels for which he is famous, this authoritative collection gathers his work in other genres, including stories, poetry, essays & plays, film scripts & treatments, & letters. When West died in a California highway accident in 1940 at the age of 37, his originality & brilliance were little known outside an intensely admiring circle of fellow writers: William Carlos Williams, Edmund Wilson, S. J. Perelman, & others. Not until West's 4 novels were reissued in the late 1950s was he acknowledged as one of the most gifted writers of his generation. His masterpieces "Miss Lonelyhearts" & "The Day of the Locust", w/ their blending of manic farce & despairing compassion, & their vision of an America awash in its own mass-produced fantasies, read like a prophecy of much that was to come in American literature & life. Each of West's novels is distinct in style & theme. In the Dada-inspired "The Dream Life of Balso Snell" (1931), he freely mixes high-flown literary & religious allusions w/ erotic & scatological humor. "Miss Lonelyhearts" (1933) presents, in a series of grotesque, starkly etched episodes, the spiritual breakdown of a newspaper columnist overwhelmed by his readers' suffering. By contrast, "A Cool Million" (1934) reduces the eternal optimism of Horatio Alger's novels to a brutal, cartoonish farce. In his last work, "The Day of the Locust" (1939), West renders w/ hallucinatory precision the reverse side of the Hollywood dream, as he choreographs a cast of failures, has-beens, & deluded glamour-seekers in what becomes an apocalyptic dance of death. Also included is a generous sampling of West's other surviving work, ranging from freewheeling improvisations & grotesque comic tales to more mainstream work written w/ Hollywood or Broadway in mind, & including his anti-war satire "Good Hunting" & his adaptation of Francis Ile's famous crime novel "Before the Fact". The uncollected West shows him as a writer who embodied the contradictions & crazy-quilt exuberance of American culture, & raises the question of how he might have developed had his career not been cut short. Selected correspondence w/ William Carlos Williams, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Cowley, Bennett Cerf, & others rounds out the volume & sets West's literary life in fuller context. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: SACVAN BERCOVITCH (1933?2014) was the 2007 recipient of the Bode-Pearson Prize for Lifetime Achievement in American Studies, author of "The Puritan Origins of the American Self", & editor of the multi-volume Cambridge History of American Literature. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).
