The Collected Works of Nathanael West

A close friend of F. Scott Fitzgerald (he died in a car crash the day after Fitzgerald's death), Nathanael West wrote two classic American novels; The Day of the Locust is a stark portrayal of Hollywood in the 1930s and Miss Lonelyhearts a story set in New York in the Depression. Also included is his unfinished last novel The Last Tycoon, and his first novel, The Dream Life of Balso Snell, which he conceived while in college.
