About This Item
New York:: Alfred A. Knopf,, 2003.. Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket (ends of spine somewhat pushed, but otherwise a very tight and clean copy). First printing. A biography which "reveals not only the hugely complicated man in full but also his rightful place in our contemporary attention - a portrait of the artist that illuminates both the process of fiction and an era still vivid in our cultural history." A handful of O'Hara's books have survived - but after getting perhaps more attention than he deserved during his live, maybe he is not getting enough now. Illustrated with photographs, notes, bibliography, index. Review copy with Wolff's photo laid in. xxii, 373 pp.
