JOHN O’HARA
Already a frequent contributor of well-crafted stories
to The New Tor her when he turned to the larger
canvas of the novel, John O’Hara wrote with
unusual acuity about the power of status and class in
American life. His reputation as a novelist rests
largely on four extraordinary books published
between 1934 and 1940. These early novels, like
those of his contemporaries Ernest Hemingway and
E. Scott Fitzgerald, dramatize the longings and
dashed hopes of a generation seduced and betrayed
by the glittering temptations of the modern age.
Richly detailed and often strikingly contemporary
in their themes, they are deeply rooted in the real
world, in “society,” exposing its unspoken rules---
and the costs of their transgression-------with a
still-bracing clarity. O’Elara, observes Fran Leibowitz,
is “the real Fitzgerald,” the Jazz Age’s truest, most
unblinking literary chronicler.
This Fibrary of America volume opens with
Appointment in Setmetrret (1934), an intense and
gripping work of social portraiture that Time maga-
zine in 2011 named one of the top IOO novels written
in English since 1923. The life of the car dealer Julian
English falls apart in a matter of days after he throws
a drink in another man’s face at the country club in
O’Hara’s fictional town of Gibbsville, Pennsylvania.
This seemingly trivial act triggers a humiliating chain
of events, which plays out as tragedy in one of the
most impressive debut novels in American literature.
Drawn from the notorious headline-grabbing case
of a drowned socialite with whom O’Hara was
acquainted, iBntterfield 8 (1935) opens a door onto
the speakeasy world of a hedonistic Manhattan. The
central character, Gloria Wandrous, whose frank
portrayal scandalized many of the book’s early read-
ers, is revealed to have been tire victim of sexual
abuse at tire hands of a socially prominent older man
when she was an adolescent. (Faber and Faber,
which had released Appointntent in Setmetrrei in
England, would refuse to publish JB ntterfielei 8
because of its candid sexual content.) Memorably, if
loosely, adapted by Hollywood in i960, in the film
that earned Elizabeth Taylor her first Academy
Award* O’Hara’s second novel retains its power to
shock and surprise.
Tine long out-of1 print Hope of Heaven (1938)* one of
O’Hara’s favorites among inis works, shifts the scene to
Los Angeles to tell t he tale of a relationship between
Peggy Henderson, a young leftist working at a book-
store* and O’Hara’s alter ego Jim JVlalloy, a world-
weary screenwriter. And in Pal Joey (1940), a novel in
the form of fourteen interconnected stories and the
basis for the enduring Rodgers 8c Hart musical,
O’Hara created perhaps his most memorable charac-
ter, a louche nightclub emcee whose tough-guy talk
highlights O’Hara’s mastery of American vernacular.
As Dorothy Parker once remarked, “O’lHara’s eyes
and ears have been spared nothing.”
