19514vg3New York: Random House 1951. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed By John O'Hara. In The Farmers Hotel a handful of strangers are stranded in rural Pennsylvania. A sudden snowfall traps the group in the titular hotel - ironically the first day that the hotel is officially 'open'. The owner and his tiny staff including his 'Magical Negro' bartender play host to a group of misfits from all walks of society: two upper-class lovers are returning from a cheeky weekend of adultery a sleazy showman and his two stripping "twin" performers and last of all a brash truck driver with a chip on his shoulder. The book is driven by O'Hara's dialog used to portray strangers as they awkwardly feel one another out. . Random House Hardcover
