Nueva York, 1931. Gloria Wandrous es una mujer que desafía las convenciones de la alta sociedad neoyorquina durante la época de la Prohibición, frecuentando clubes clandestinos y viviendo su sexualidad con total libertad. Su vida da un giro cuando conoce a Weston Liggett, un hombre casado y padre de familia que se obsesiona con ella hasta el punto de considerar dejarlo todo. Esta obra de John O'Hara es una mordaz comedia de costumbres con tintes de novela negra que evoca el universo de autores como F. Scott Fitzgerald. A través de la relación entre Gloria y Weston, el autor explora la hipocresía social y las tensiones de una clase privilegiada en un mundo al borde del cambio, donde el destino parece jugar siempre la última carta.
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.
