John O'Hara

    31 de enero de 1905 – 11 de abril de 1970

    John O'Hara fue un escritor estadounidense célebre por su aguda observación del estatus social y las distinciones de clase. Poseyendo un oído increíblemente preciso para el diálogo, capturó magistralmente las ambiciones y vidas de sus personajes. Su obra, que comenzó con cuentos y evolucionó hacia novelas superventas, retrata vívidamente las intrincadas complejidades sociales de su época.

Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, John Cheever, Sean O'Faolain, Graham Greene, Robert Penn Warren, Colette, John Updike, Donald Barthelme, and James Thurber. (Regrettably, J. D.
