The Day of the Locust Book is Worth Reading

Nathanael West’s novel, “The Day of the Locust” (1939) depicts the seedy underside of early Hollywood. Populated with zany characters whose dreams have putrified into grievance and violence, West’s story of those who will never make it big is one of the best novels about Hollywood.
