About this title

About the Author:

Matthew J. Bruccoli was Jefferies Professor of English at the University of South Carolina.

Review:

“Bruccoli argues persuasively that O’Hara’s lasting literary importance will come because of his genius at reproducing the way certain Americans talked and lived; because of his commitment to ‘write truthfully and exactly’; because of his clarity and mastery of dialogue.”
—Boston Globe

“O’Hara could not have asked for a better biography or biographer.”
—Library Journal

‘Remarkably fresh—and undoubtedly controversial. A fascinating portrait of O’Hara and his times.”
—Publishers Weekly
