Other children have often said I'm Mary and I'm Helen but when a sapphire-eyed child says I'm Lovey' it can be taken as a self-<br />appraisal an invitation or a statement of fact. In her childhood when Lovey introduced herself to grownups they would at least smile and she grew up in the belief that the grownup world was a friendly place. She could hardly wait to become a member of that world and she did all she could to hasten her entrance into it." Lovey Lewis's efforts to join the adult world were aided by matters she could not foresee or control her father's financial ineptitude his early death her mother's aberrations. At seventeen she completed the process by her impetuous marriage to Sky Childs all-American football wealthy and worthless: ".the union of two prominent families. If they were not made for<br />each other they were made for the tabloid press."</p><p>The main events of the story take place in the second half. the downhill side of the hectic 1920's a period about which the author has frequently written before with equal authority and conviction. This is one of John 0'Hara's shortest novels -practically a miniature in comparison to From the Terrace or Ten North Frederick-but its brevity is a matter of method rather than of content. It is a long full-bodied story deliberately foreshortened presented primarily through key scenes with the connecting links sketched in briefly or suggested to the imagination. The characters are seldom described; it is through what they do and say that the reader comes to know them and also in some cases with reluctance to believe them.</p> Random House hardcover

19343356Shipboard Publication. all 8 datelines state "On board M.S. Kungsholm": Swedish American Line 1934. First Edition First Printing. Paperback. Near Fine. No. 1 Saturday March 10th 1934 to No. 8 Tuesday March 27th 1934 O'Hara's first - and rarest - "A" item with no records found of "Reminiscences" ever having been seen at auction and OCLC locating just the single copy held in Kent State's Special Collections from the personal library of O'Hara's bibliographer Matthew J. Bruccoli. Staple-bound burgundy card wrappers title and decorations stamped in gilt onto upper and lower covers 8vo 9 inches 23cm tall pp. unpaginated 42 inc. titles illustrated throughout with line drawings and B&W photo reproductions ads. Half-title states 'Reminiscences from "Kungsholm" West Indies Cruise March 9-March 28 1934' title verso states "Editor.John O'Hara" and each single issue also states "John O'Hara Editor". An 18 day cruise aboard the Swedish American Line's M.S. Kungsholm listing the ship's staff cruise staff and a complete list of passengers as well as the social programs and itinerary. Found among O'Hara's many articles and the descriptions of Barbados Jamaica Haiti Bahamas Panama Curacao Venezuela and Trinidad is his parody description of New York's social scene "Manhattan!". Volume has modest wear and creasing to covers light soil to half-title with a few stray pencil marks two brief underlingings in pencil and a faint mustiness attest to it's shipboard origins. Includes all issues numbers 1-8 of The Kungsholm Cruise News introduced and edited by John O'Hara with the final number referring to an unfinished contracted manuscript of his. "What about us and by us we mean me Do you know what we're walking into Well this is what we're walking right into: on April 2 under the terms of a contract which was signed when the West Indies Cruise was no more than an advertisement in the Sunday papers we are required to turn in the complete final manuscript of a novel. And you guessed it. That nasty smile is the first sign of life you've shown in the last day and half. You guessed it. We've failed to complete the novel. Thursday at one we have a luncheon date with the publisher Harcourt Brace Advt. who right now goes his merry way with the curious idea in mind that we are bringing with us the final MS. Take me home for one dollah!" O'Hara goes on to finish with "So here let us say adjö – if you can say it… Well you see Mr. Harcourt when we were only two days out we had a Potts fracture of the left leg and then…"this sentence is underlined in pencil with the notation "me too!". Perhaps an early admission of O'Hara choosing pleasure before work hmmm. The New Yorker published 221 of O'Hara's short stories a number unequaled by any other writer. Ref.
