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."
