Harold (INT) Bloom

Praised by great writers from Flannery O'Conner to Jonathan Lethem, Miss Lonelyhearts is an American classic. A newspaper reporter assigned to write the agony column in the depths of the Great Depression seeks respite from the poor souls who send in their sad letters, only to be further tormented by his viciously cynical editor, Shrike. This single volume of Miss Lonelyhearts features its original Alvin Lustig jacket design, as well as a new introduction by Harold Bloom, who calls it "my favorite work of modern American fiction."

"One of Australia's most vivid, energetic and stormy poets, a writer who turns to the natural world with a fierce light." Edward Hirsch, Washington Post Highly Recommended Poetry Books of 2003"
