  Alfred Hayes is one of the secret masters of the twentieth century novel, a journalist and scriptwriter and poet
who possessed an immaculate ear and who wrote with razorsharp intelligence about passion and its payback.
  
 
My Face for the World to See is set in Hollywood, where the tonic for anonymity is fame and you’re only as real
as your image. At a party, the narrator, a screenwriter, rescues a young woman who staggers with drunken determination
into the Pacific. He is living far from his wife in New York and long ago shed any illusions about the value of his
work. He just wants to be left alone. And yet without really meaning to, he gets involved with the young woman, who has,
it seems, no illusions about love, especially with married men. She’s a survivor, even if her beauty is a little
battered from years of not quite making it in the pictures. She’s just like him, he thinks, and as their casual
relationship takes on an increasingly troubled and destructive intensity, it seems that might just be true, only not in
the way he supposes.
  
  Review
  
  “An exciting, engrossing work, written with beautiful
economy and the sure skill of an artist who knows what he is doing.... Mr. Hayes has created characters that are the
essence of human hopes and frailty.” —The New York Times Book Review
  
  “The most vivid
picture of Hollywood since Nathanael West’s Day of the Locust.” —Nelson Algren
   
 
“All of Alfred Hayes’s writing has been marked by a fine grace and finish; and My Face for the World to See
is like his earlier books in its quiet control of words and effects. Grace, finish, control—or plain
style—are all rare qualities in the generally verbose weather of contemporary prose; and when they appear they
must be greeted with honest gratitude and praise.” —Chicago Daily Tribune
   
  “Hayes
writes luminously about people who can’t help themselves, who can’t resist the temptations that are set to
destroy them.... Hayes has done for bruised men what Jean Rhys does for bruised women, and they both write
heartbreakingly beautiful sentences.” —Paul Bailey, The Guardian
   
  “A constant tug back
to the LCD of raw humanity is one of the most striking features of Mr. Hayes’s superficially sophisticated
writing.... This is an insidious, nasty, nagging book, with a bitter after-taste: but there is no doubt in the world
that Mr. Hayes knows what he is about.” —The Irish Times
  
  “In it is captured the
essence of Hollywood, the bitterness which lies beneath the pleasant aroma of success and fame.... In the compass of
this novel, Hayes, who is one of the best novelists writing today [1958], has captured the ineffable sadness which
marches in the van of success, has touched the corrupting qualities of Hollywood which have escaped most of those who
have written about this fabled town.” —Los Angeles Times
   
  “Deeply moving.”
—New York Herald Tribune
   
  “A small jolting shot of bitter wisdom.” —Newsweek
  
  About the Author
  
  Alfred Hayes (1911–1985) was born into a Jewish family in
Whitechapel, London, though his father, a barber, trained violinist, and sometime bookie, moved the family to New York
when Hayes was three. After attending City College, Hayes worked as a reporter for the New York American and Daily
Mirror and began to publish poetry, including “Joe Hill,” about the legendary labor organizer, which was
later set to music by the composer Earl Robinson and recorded by Joan Baez. During World War II Hayes was assigned to a
special services unit in Italy; after the war he stayed on in Rome, where he contributed to the story development and
scripts of several classic Italian neorealist films, including Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà (1946) and Vittorio
De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves (1948), and gathered material for two popular novels, All Thy Conquests (1946) and The
Girl on the Via Flaminia (1949), the latter the basis for the 1953 film Act of Love, starring Kirk Douglas. In the late
1940s Hayes went to work in Hollywood, writing screenplays for Clash by Night, A Hatful of Rain, The Left Hand of God,
Joy in the Morning, and Fritz Lang’s Human Desire, as well as scripts for television. Hayes was the author of
seven novels, a collection of stories, and three volumes of poetry. In addition to My Face for the World to See, NYRB
Classics publishes In Love.
  
  David Thomson is film critic at The New Republic and has been a frequent
contributor to Sight & Sound, Film Comment, The Guardian, and The Independent. He is the author of A Biographical
Dictionary of Film and, most recently, The Big Screen: The Story of the Movies. He has also written several novels,
including Suspects and Silver Light.
