Abstract
Addressing the inhuman fit between literary form and critical environment in Nathanael West's late modernist "Miss Lonelyhearts". The essay points to inhuman agencies at work in the remediations of social life and the reality machinery of mass media that operate "inside" the novel. Animated by numerous multi-media operators, the novel orients to the world "outside" as a kind of automatic parody of realist constructions of narrative subjectivity
