Synopsis

John O'Hara was as acclaimed for his grimly realistic short stories as he was for his novels.

Set mainly in the Pennsylvania coal country where he grew up, his stories--and his fiction in general--were about striving, upwardly mobile characters and are invaluable slices of 20th-century social history.

Publisher's Note

A collection of short stories by the award-winning author reveals the rich diversity, insight, and verisimilitude of O'Hara's work as written about rural Pennsylvania, Hollywood, and New York cafe society.

"What a splendid writer O'Hara was. What splendid reading he still is." Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.) - George V. Higgins

"The stories are here set everywhere from Gibbsville to New York City to Hollywood.

They involve the rich and the poor, the high-born and the low, the climbing and the sinking.

They hit you hard and they hit you soft. And the passage of time has dated them hardly at all."... New York Times - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt

"A wonderful sampling of the variety and richness of O'Hara's material and his unerring accuracy in evoking a particular place and the people who lived there, from the drudging coal miners of rural Pennsylvania to the pampered movie stars of Hollywood.".... Chicago Sun-Times - Howard Frank Mosher
