by O'HARA, John
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1935. Hardcover. Good. First edition. About fine in an attractive, good plus dustwrapper with some neat but amateurish repair, and extensive internal repair. The author's third book and second novel, and by all accounts one of his best. O'Hara's laconic journalistic style was particularly effective in illuminating the life of the middle-class American, a mantle he seems to have inherited from Sinclair Lewis. Filmed in 1960 with Oscar-winner Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Harvey, Eddie Fisher and Dina Merrill. One of the author's best known novels. (Inventory #: 79894)
