First published in 1958. Mass Market Paperback. John O'Hara (1905 1970) was an American writer who earned his early literary reputation for short stories and became a best-selling novelist before the age of 30 with "Appointment in Samarra" and "Butterfield 8". His work stands out among that of contemporaries for its unvarnished realism. His champions rank him highly among the under-appreciated and unjustly neglected major American writers of the 20th century. From the Terrace was adapted into a film directed by Mark Robson from a screenplay by Ernest Lehman. The film stars Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Myrna Loy, Ina Balin, George Grizzard, and Leon Ames, with a young Barbara Eden appearing in one scene. The plot tells the story of the estranged son of a Pennsylvania factory owner who marries into a prestigious family and moves to New York to seek his fortune. The movie was the third film that real-life spouses Newman and Woodward made together. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; iv, 981 pages .
