Overall a very sturdy and presentable copy of O'Hara's first novel. Appointment in Samarra tells the tragic story of protagonist Julian English as he delves into a downward spiral of self-destruction. Like the fast-paced plot which takes place over the course of only three days O'Hara wrote this novel in an expeditious four months when he was only twenty-eight years old. Although criticized for the candor with which he presented socially taboo sexual encounters Appointment in Samarra is notable for propelling O'Hara to literary prominence. 1st Edition. Hardcover.
