Description:

Artist Tod Hackett gets more than he bargains for when he moves to Hollywood to work on set design at a studio and falls in with interesting local characters.

Nathanael West's 1939 novel The Day of the Locust was written while West lived in the San Fernando Valley. As a matter of fact, West and his wife Eileen McKenney (of My Sister Eileen fame) lived at 12706 Magnolia Blvd, down the street from the library, when they died in 1940.
