Looking around to see what this was about got me interested in reading it but when I tried to request it I found out none of the libraries in my county have any Nathanel West books. So I guess there really is no love for this guy.

I decided to look it up too because you did. And there appears to be love!

That's a 20 paged play script adapted from the book though.

If you looked hard enough you could probably find an e-book version of this (and probably any other book ever written) but books aren't as tasty if they're not in bound form. Perhaps I'm just a peculiar piece of human garbage but if a novel is only available as an E-book then I probably won't bother reading it.
