Book Description"John O’Hara’s fiction,” wrote Lionel Trilling, "is preeminent for its social verisimilitude.” Made famous by his bestselling novels, including BUtterfield 8 and Appointment in Samarra, O’Hara (1905–1970) also wrote some of the finest short fiction of the twentieth century. First published by the Modern Library in 1956, Selected Short Stories of John O’Hara displays the author’s skills as a keen socialobserver, a refreshingly frank storyteller, and a writer with a brilliant ear for dialogue. "The stories in this volume,” writes Louis Begley in his new Introduction, "show the wide range of [O’Hara’s] interests and an ability to treat with a virtuoso’s ease characters and situations from any place on America’s geographic and social spectrum.”
