Nathanael West was a comic artist whose insight into the
brutalities and absurdities of modern life proved prophetic. He is
famous for two masterpieces, " Miss Lonelyhearts "and the most
penetrating novel ever written about Hollywood, "The Day of the
Locust." Eileen McKenney, accidental muse and literary heroine,
fled Cleveland in search of romance and adventure, inspiring her
sister's humorous stories, "My Sister Eileen," which led to stage,
film, and television adaptations.
Until their tragic deaths in 1940, husband and wife were intimate
with many of the literary, theatrical, and movie notables of the
era, and in this dual biography, they provide a one-of-a-kind lens
into a world that continues to capture artists' imaginations. With
trenchant insight and erudite charm, acclaimed biographer Marion
Meade restores the star-crossed lovers to their rightful places in
the rich cultural tapestry of interwar America and paints a lively
tableau of one of the country's most engrossing eras.
