John O'Hara Was A Divine Social Critic

HEMINGWAY liked John O'Hara and that goes for me too.  His social constructs on the harsh aspects of high society are valid depictions pouncing on the brusque variables of American life.  His 'Appointment in Samarra' and 'Ten North Frederick' rocked along like a an absurd Benny Goodman riff.  I loved the crazy book called 'Butterfield 8' because it had so much zing.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
