Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West
3.0
67th book of 2020.
This is a pretty quick read, and a strange one. Miss Lonelyhearts is in fact, a man. He works for an advice column and I suppose he isn't very good at his job. He drinks too much. Has liaisons with women, he's a pretty standard fiction-man. The novel has an odd sense of black humour, which at one point leaves the ballpark of being 'black humour' and simply becomes depressing. And violent. All the same, an interesting read, but nothing special; good to kill a few hours, at the least.
