Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In "Miss Lonelyhearts" the author creates the portrait of a character, all nerves and no skin, the fool of pity, whom the ordinary horror of ordinary life lacerates to the point of madness. "A Cool Million" parodies a myth of the American dream of success and wealth.
