The writer whom Fran Lebowitz compared to the author of "The Great
Gatsby, "calling him "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald," makes his
Penguin Classics debut with this beautiful deluxe edition of his
best-loved book.
One of the great novels of small-town American life, "Appointment
in Samarra "is John O'Hara's crowning achievement. In December
1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, social
circuit is electrified with parties and dances. At the center of
the social elite stand Julian and Caroline English. But in one rash
moment born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite
society and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction.
Brimming with wealth and privilege, jealousy and infidelity,
O'Hara's iconic first novel is an unflinching look at the dark side
of the American dream--and a lasting testament to the keen social
intelligence if a major American writer.
