Miss Lonelyhearts   纳撒尼尔?韦斯特(Nathanael West) 1903年出生于纽约一个殷实的犹太移民家庭。他1924年毕业于布朗大学,随后到巴黎游学,15个月后返回纽约,加入父亲的建筑公司。不久后,他开始从事酒店管理业,在为落魄的纽约作家提供便宜食宿的同时,探索写作的可能性。从1931年到1934年,他相继出版了《巴尔索?斯奈尔的梦幻生活》(The Dream Life of Balso Snell)、《寂寞芳心小姐》(Miss Lonelyhearts)、《难圆发财梦》(A Cool Million)等作品。其中,《寂寞芳心小姐》深受名家好评,更被拿来与菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的盖茨比》(The Great Gatsby)相提并论,是韦斯特最受欢迎的作品。尽管这些作品在文学圈受到了赞誉,但是销量都不高。1935年,韦斯特来到好莱坞寻找发展机会,成为一名编剧。1939年,基于他对好莱坞电影产业的观察,他完成了《蝗灾之日》(The Day of the Locust)。1940年,韦斯特和妻子不幸死于一场车祸。韦斯特是美国“黑色幽默小说”的先驱,他的作品笑中带泪,对当时美国社会的种种乱象进行了入木三分的刻画和深沉的讽喻。   Excerpts1)   Although the deadline was less than a quarter of an hour away, he was still working on his leader2).

The letters were no longer funny. He could not go on finding the same joke funny thirty times a day for months on end. And on most days he received more than thirty letters, all of them alike, stamped from the dough of suffering with a heart-shaped cookie knife.   On his desk were piled those he had received this morning. He started through them again, searching for some clue to a sincere answer.   Dear Miss Lonelyhearts―   I am in such pain I dont know what to do sometimes I think I will kill myself my kidneys hurt so much. My husband thinks no woman can be a good catholic and not have children irregardless of the pain. I was married honorable from our church but I never knew what married life meant as I never was told about man and wife. My grandmother never told me and she was the only mother I had but made a big mistake by not telling me as it dont pay to be innocent and is only a big disappointment. I have 7 children in 12 years and ever since the last 2 I have been so sick. I was operated on twice and my husband promised no more children on the doctors advice as he said I might die but when I got back from the
