Book Reviews of Miss Lonelyhearts & the Day of the Locust
Book Review: A Brilliant work of art
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps one of the greatest novels ever written, Miss Lonleyhearts hurts the mind and soul with its uncompromising intensity and overwhelming authenticity. West's reflections on life and human relationships are simultaniously philosophical and absurd, and in the end leave the reader shell-shocked. It would be difficult to summarize in any way this novel's message or describe its impact on modern fiction.
