BUtterfield 8

Wonderful.

O'Hara is an artist of prose as good as or better than Fitzgerald or Hemingway - and he makes Hemingway seem like a gimmick.

He is sexually franker than either, and once he gets his story going, it moves.

And he gets it going on page one.

As good as Appointment in Samarra.

Really.
