O'Hara John
Appointment in Samarra
New York: Harcourt Brace and Co. 1934 First edition first printing with the publisher's errata slip. Publisher's black cloth lettered in lemon yellow; in the original first issue pictorial dust jacket designed by Alfred Maurer priced at $2.50 and with "Recent Fiction" to the rear panel with the iconic deco design of a car driving through a hilled landscape in green yellow and black lettered in yellow and black. About very good with soiling to the cloth a slight lean to the spine some faint spotting to the page edges some minor soiling to the endpapers otherwise clean interior; unclipped dust jacket with loss to the spine ends closed tears to the spine and front flap fold some wear and minor chipping to the extremities light toning to the spine a few minor scuffs to the otherwise bright panels. Overall a very sturdy and presentable copy of O'Hara's first novel. Appointment in Samarra tells the tragic story of protagonist Julian English as he delves into a downward spiral of self-destruction. Like the fast-paced plot which takes place over the course of only three days O'Hara wrote this novel in an expeditious four months when he was only twenty-eight years old. Although criticized for the candor with which he presented socially taboo sexual encounters Appointment in Samarra is notable for propelling O'Hara to literary prominence. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Illus. by Maurer Alfred. New York: Harcourt, Brace, and Co. hardcover books

O'Hara John
Appointment in Samarra.
Dover Publications: New York 1946. Early printing of the author's first book. Octavo original cloth. From the library of American actor Zachary Scott the first husband of Elaine Scott who later married writer John Steinbeck. Scott is best remembered for his many roles as villains and "mystery men" in dozens of musical comedies film noirs and psychological thrillers throughout the 1940s and 50s including Hollywood Canteen The Unfaithful Shotgun Man in the Shadow and The Young One. In very good condition with Scott's bookplate to the pastedown. Gift inscription to Scott to the front free endpaper. 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. "O'Hara is the only American writer to whom America presents itself as a social scene in the way it once presented itself to Henry James or France to Proust" Lionel Trilling The New York Times. "If you want to read a book by a man who knows exactly what he is writing about and has written it marvelously well read Appointment in Samarra" Ernest Hemingway. Chosen by Modern Library as one of 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century and was placed by Time Magazine's list of top 100 novels written in English since 1923. New York hardcover books
