Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Nathanael West (1903-1940) - original name Nathan Weinstein (until 1926) American writer who satirized the American dream and saw that liberty and freedom have been turned into a bizarre nightmare. West attracted posthumously attention after World War II first in France. He was fascinated by what he called 'the secret inner life of masses', where the power of unfilled desires always threatens to turn into malignant violence. West died in a car crash at thirty-seven. "At college, and perhaps for a year afterwards, they had believed in literature, had believed in Beauty and in personal expression as an absolute end. When they lost this belief, they lost everything. Money and fame meant nothing to them. They were not wordly men." (from Miss Lonelyhearts Nathanael West was born in New York, N.Y. as the son of immigrant German Jews from Lithuania. His mother was Anna (Wallenstein) Weinstein, and father, Max Weinstein, a construction contractor. As a young man West showed little ambition. He studied at Brown University, Providence, where he befriended the writer and humorist S.J. Perelman - he married West's sister. During these years he started to draw cartoons and write short surrealistic sketches, which he later collected as the novel THE DREAM LIFE OF BALSO SNELL (1931). West did not take his studies seriously - he borrowed his cousin's work and presented it as his own and failed a crucial course in modern drama.

He practiced a trick used much by moving-picture comedians - the dead pan. No matter how fantastic or excited his speech, he never changed his expression. Under the shining white globe of his brow, his features huddled together in a dead, gray triangle.

Extractions: West's novels represent his response to the appearance of the values of consumerism in the United States of the 1930s. With the rise of consumerism and commodity fetishism the distinction between image and reality is critically blurred. West was one of the first writers to see this situation developing. And his novel, The Day of the Locust is about Hollywood, the capital of the American business of image manufacturing. In that novel West depicts the consequences of the blurring of the line between substance and image. But his political views, clearly left-of-center, and influenced by, among other sources, the Spenglerian analysis of cultural decline, are themselves surface details. The deeper details about West concern themselves with his attempts to come to terms with the function of the creative artist in a culture that has begun devaluating the individual. What does it mean to be a writer in this new "modern" age?

Nathanael West Literary Traveler
The California Dreams of nathanael west.
http://www.literarytraveler.com/spring/west/nwest.htm

Extractions: El Centro marks not "the center" but rather the fringe of Southern California, making it a true point of entry into the world of Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust . And oddly, it was here among the convolution of El Centro, on the edge of his literary wasteland, where a 1940 automobile accident cut short West's magnificent genius. But like the world his work immortalized, Nathanael West has never held beyond the reach of contradiction. West's life and legacy have continued to weave with a thread of bitter irony. While many closely associate The Day of the Locust with California in general and Hollywood in particular, West was neither a native of the region nor claimed the Golden State as home for very long. In fact, the author found Los Angeles quite unwittingly and only by the cynosure of early failure. Born Nathan Weinstein in 1903 to a prominent Jewish-immigrant family, West (he would adopt the anglicized pen name in 1926) grew up amid the ethnic and intellectual ferment of early-century New York. A disinterested if not lazy student, West won admission, by means of questionable scruple, to Tufts University and eventually to Brown, where he fell into a circle of aspiring young writers. After a several-year stay among the bohemia and avant-garde of "Lost Generation" Paris, West began work on his first novel

Honoring west's unique vision of American life, screenplays should explore the multifaceted society in which we live.
http://www.nwestcontest.com/

Extractions: Nathanael West Screenplay Contest Bio. Nathanael West explored and examined the American Dream in all the modern realities. Much like his contemporary F. Scott Fitzgerald, he expressed a distant emotion about possibilities and certainly on which the Dream has been revered. Almost all of his tomes deal with a central theme of prospering and exert an inherent skepticism about human nature. A master craftsman who detailed the 1920's and 1930's with an adroit eye for uniquely universal traits, he was the writer of clear bittersweet knowing prose and the creator of large and sad American lives. Born to a prominent Jewish immigrant family in 1903, he officially changed his name to West from Weinstein in 1926. He was granted admission to Tufts University then transferred to Brown. Shortly thereafter he wrote his first novel, entitled The Dream Life of Balso Snell . That novel despite the classic status it was granted after West's sudden death sold poorly and hailed to receive any major critical acclaim. However, his next large-scale fiction writing piece, Miss Lonelyhearts , amassed a large audience and praising reviews from critics and editors.

Extractions: West, Nathanael West, Nathanael, , American novelist, whose real name was Nathan Weinstein, b. New York City, grad. Brown Univ., 1924. An innovative, highly original author, West revealed the sterility and grotesqueness underlying the American dream; his vision has profoundly influenced subsequent writers. After spending two years in Paris, he worked as a hotel manager in New York. His first novel, The Dream Life of Balso Snell (1931), is a garish satire that foreshadowed the work to follow. Miss Lonelyhearts (1933), his most successful novel, relates the painful life of a columnist for the lovelorn whose misguided priestliness leads him to a tragic and ironic involvement with his suffering correspondents. He also edited and wrote for several magazines and in 1935 moved to Hollywood, where he became a scriptwriter. A Cool Million (1934) was West's bitter indictment of a materialistic world.
