Read Miss Lonelyhearts & the Day of the Locust Storyline:

RetailFirst published in 1933, Miss Lonelyhearts remains one of the most shocking works of 20th century American literature. In The Day of the Locust a young artist, Tod Hackett, arrives in LA full of dreams. But celebrity and artifice rule and he soon joins the ranks of the disenchanted that drift around the fringes of Hollywood. Miss Lonelyhearts is a decidedly off-kilter, darkly comic tale set in New York in the early 30s.

But as endless letters from the Desperate, Sick-of-it-All and Disillusioned pile up for Miss Lonelyhearts's attention the joke begins to escape him...
