The Day of the Locust And the Dream Life of Balso Snell by Nathanael West
"The Day of the Locust" is an exposure of the sordid reality beneath the surface of Hollywood, where West worked and "The Dream Life of Balso Snell" is a surrealist fantasy.
Nathanael West was born in 1903. From 1924-1931 he lived in Paris where he wrote The Dream Life of Balso Snell. On his return to New York he became associate editor of the magazine Contact alongside William Carlos Williams. Towards the end of his life he worked on film scripts in Hollywood. He and his wife were tragically killed in a car accident in 1940.
