John O'Hara 1905-1970 was born in Pottsville Pennsylvania where he was raised in an Irish Catholic household. After high school and the death of his father he traveled extensively before working as a critic and reporter in New York City. O'Hara's fiction often depicted the social dynamics of upwardly mobile Americans from the 1920s through the 1940s. "O'Hara was fascinated by the effect of class money and sexuality among Americans and his fictional representations of Hollywood and Broadway are thick with the snobbery of social structure." - Britannica.com. His novel "Ten North Frederick" won the National Book Award in 1956 and was turned into a major feature film. He is also credited with helping to popularize "The New Yorker" magazine short story style.<br /> <br /> Thirty-one stories more than a quarter which had not been previously published. Warmly inscribed on the very day of publication according to Bruccoli by the author to his publisher on the front free endpaper: "To Sam Sloan / gentleman scholar / man of courage / sensitive associate of / John O'Hara / New York / 14 March 1945." Samuel Sloan was vice president and treasurer of Duell Sloan and Pearce. Unfortunately Sloan passed away shortly after this book was inscribed to him. Duell. Sloan and Pearce hardcover
