â€œJohn Oâ€™Haraâ€™s fiction,â€ wrote Lionel Trilling, â€œis preeminent for its social verisimilitude.â€ Made famous by his bestselling novels, including BUtterfield 8 and Appointment in Samarra, Oâ€™Hara (1905â€“1970) also wrote some of the finest short fiction of the twentieth century.

First published by the Modern Library in 1956, Selected Short Stories of John Oâ€™Hara displays the authorâ€™s skills as a keen social observer, a refreshingly frank storyteller, and a writer with a brilliant ear for dialogue. â€œThe stories in this volume,â€ writes Louis Begley in his new Introduction, â€œshow the wide range of [Oâ€™Haraâ€™s] interests and an ability to treat with a virtuosoâ€™s ease characters and situations from any place on Americaâ€™s geographic and social spectrum.â€
