Miss Lonelyhearts
by Nathanael West
I rarely write about books though I read more than my fair share but now is as good a time as any! An advice columnist loses faith in religion and humanity, becoming morally and spiritually bankrupt. He is shunning his girlfriend, being sex teased by his bosses wife, harrassed by his boss, and stalked by fans of his bylines. There are no happy endings here and life continues it's misery until a bitter demise. I absolutely loved this novella as it is sexy, honest and the characters are very fleshed out for the shortness of it.
