About this title

Review:

'Remarkably fresh--and undoubtedly controversial. A fascinating portrait of O'Hara and his times." --Publishers Weekly "O'Hara could not have asked for a better biography or biographer." --Library Journal "Bruccoli argues persuasively that O'Hara's lasting literary importance will come because of his genius at reproducing the way certain Americans talked and lived; because of his commitment to 'write truthfully and exactly'; because of his clarity and mastery of dialogue." --Boston Globe

Synopsis:

This edition of Bruccoli's biography of John O'Hara includes an appendix based on research in the archives of "The New Yorker". Correspondence between O'Hara and Harold Ross, Katherine White and others sheds new light on the uneasy relationship between the editiors and their short story writer.
