Day of the Locust

Another brief but poignant material object purchase is a 1953 Bantam Paperback first issue of the 1939 Nathanael West novel "Day of the Locust"- one of my favorite American novels.  I like the paperback because of it's lurid and strange cover, and still being a well written book. This story really transports me to another place and time while speaking to universal glitches in the matrix.
