One of America’s most prolific writers of short stories, John O’Hara helped develop ‘The New Yorker’ magazine story style. His large body of works represent a sprawling social history of upwardly mobile Americans from the 1920s through to the 1960s. A best-selling novelist by the age of thirty, he penned such modern masterpieces as ‘Appointment in Samarra’ and ‘BUtterfield 8’. His work won the admiration of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Updike. Today, he is recognised by many as one of the most under-appreciated American writers of the twentieth century. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents O’Hara’s complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
