The Day of the Locust by Nathanael West
2.0
Alright, so I decided to read this due to the reference to this book in Y: The Last Man comic. I did not like it. I see the appeal, it is over-the-top and definitely has a statement regarding Hollywood culture (or at least of the early-mid 1900's).
It seemed very intentional that all of the characters were crappy people, but that is why I couldn't find too much appeal in the story. I also have a big red flag for books that condone rape- and while no rape happened in the book, the protagonist seems to think of raping enough.
Sorry, Yorick. I just do not agree with your views on this book.
