Applause: John O'Hara

Article in LA Times on America's best forgotten writer, John O'Hara, with wonderful news that his masterpiece, Appointment In Samarra, has been reissued. Just got the digital book. Extraordinary novel! I can't wait to get into it. Hemingway was a great admirer of O'Hara, who others called "the real Scott Fitzgerald." I think Samarra is better than Gatsby myself.

Dos Passos, O'Hara, nice to see these forgotten literary giants being remembered.

Appointment In Samarra! Incredible book.

Now let's add James Agee to the revival list.
