There's some great stuff in the film, don't get me wrong. It
is one of my favorite books and I had high expectations. Have
you read Die A Little by Megan Abbott? In no way am I
suggesting that she lifted anything out of The Day of the
Locust, but she sure is driving around that neighborhood a
lot. Granted -- as I mentioned in another post here -- that's
some hard territory to sink a new pump into and make your
own. But I kept coming back to Nat West especially since
someone lived at the Locust Arms or something like that in
Abbott's book.
