Alive Inside the Wreck: A Biography of Nathanael West by Joe Woodward
Requirements: EPUB, MOBI Reader, 12 MB
Overview: From his name to his college transcript to his literary style, Nathanael West was self-invented. Born Nathan Weinstein, the author of Miss Lonelyhearts (1933) and The Day of the Locust (1939) was an uncompromising artist obsessed with writing the perfect novel. He pursued his passion from New York to Paris to California, flirting dangerously with the bleak, faux-glamour of Hollywood as the country suffered through the grim realities of the Great Depression. At the center of a circle of vigorous young literary writers that included F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, William Carlos Williams, S.J. Perelman and Dashiell Hammett, West rose to become one of the most original literary talents of the twentieth century—an accomplished yet regrettably underappreciated master of the short lyric novel.
West was finally starting to enjoy financial stability as a Hollywood screenwriter when he died in the California desert. A notoriously bad driver, he was racing back from a hunting trip in Mexico with his young bride of eight months when he crashed at full speed into another car.
