Description
Eine schwarze Komödie im New York der 20er-Jahre Scheinheiligkeit, Scheinmoral, Scheinentrüstung – das ging im Medienzirkus schon immer zusammen und tut es bis heute. Nathanael West zeigt in seiner flammenden Satire, wie dreist im modernen Pressewesen getäuscht und geheuchelt wird. Mit seiner »Miss Lonelyhearts« präsentiert er eine wunderbar ambivalente Schlüsselfigur des großen Bluffs. »Haben Sie Sorgen? Schreiben Sie an Miss Lonelyhearts!« – Die Leserschaft des New Yorker Post-Dispatch macht regen Gebrauch von der Offerte, und die Briefe in der Redaktion stapeln sich höher und höher. Ob es um Pubertätsnöte geht, um Inzest oder gebrochene Herzen – Miss Lonelyhearts hat garantiert die passenden Worte auf Lager. Dass die beliebte Trostspenderin in Wahrheit eine durch und durch trostlose Existenz ist, wissen nur die feixenden Kollegen. Schonungslos deckt der Roman den faulen Zauber eines Systems auf, das auf billigsten Illusionismus setzt und Menschen vorsätzlich für dumm verkauft. »‘Miss Lonelyhearts’ ist aus dem Stoff, aus dem unsere Zeitungen sind – bloß dass West die Wahrheit erzählt.« (Dashiell Hammett)
