Bu e-kitob haqida

At the height of the Great Depression, aspiring artist Tod Hackett falls in love with Faye Greener, a beautiful starlet with big dreams. Through his work as a costume designer and his burgeoning friendship with Faye, Tod is introduced to the world behind the movies, and the varied and unusual characters that populate the fringes of Hollywood.

Widely regarded as one of the best English-language novels of the twentieth century, The Day of the Locust was adapted for a 1975 film starring William Atherton, Karen Black, and Donald Sutherland. It has also been referenced in many forms of media, including the graphic novel Y: The Last Man, and is believed to have inspired the character of Homer Simpson in The Simpsons by Matt Groening.

Muallif haqida

Born in New York City in 1903 as Nathan Weinstein, American writer Nathanael West was known both for his novels and for his career as a screenwriter. Uninterested in academics while attending college, West graduated without prospects and worked miscellaneous jobs before employment as a night manager in a hotel finally provided him with time to dedicate to his true passion—writing. West began working on several books and published his first work, The Dream Life of Balso Snell, in 1931, and Miss Lonelyhearts—now considered to be his masterpiece—followed soon after. Now working as a screenwriter for Columbia Pictures, West’s experience in the film industry served as inspiration for his 1939 novel, The Day of the Locust. Though he published four novels and two plays during his lifetime, West’s work was not widely recognized until after his death.
