Anthology of John O'Hara's best short stories, selected from eleven volumes published between 1935 and 1968, with an introduction by Frank MacShane, the author's biographer. His stories portray society and the human condition with a quality that John Updike considered among the best of the twentieth century.

For readers of short fiction and twentieth-century American literary fiction.
John Henry O'Hara was an American writer. He was one of America's most prolific writers of short stories, credited with helping to invent The New Yorker magazine short story style. He became a best-selling novelist before the age of 30 with Appointment in Samarra and BUtterfield 8. While O'Hara's legacy as a writer is debated, his work was praised by such contemporaries as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and his champions rank him highly among the major under-appreciated American writers of the 20th century. Few college students educated after O'Hara's death in 1970 have discovered him, chiefly because he refused to allow his work to be reprinted in anthologies used to teach literature at the college level.
