John O’Hara citáty

John O'Hara bol americký románopisec, dramatik, scenárista, esejista a novinár. Zo začiatku bol známy svojimi krátkymi poviedkami. Postupne vošiel do povedomia ako autor románov "Schôdzka v Samare" a "Butterfield8". Stal sa známy svojím zmyslom pre dobrý dialóg. Mal cit pre sociálne vzťahy, rôzny spoločenský status postáv a často písal o sociálnych ambíciách. Bol kontroverzným autorom práve kvôli svojim snahám katalogizovať postavy do výrazne vykreslených spoločenských kást. Wikipedia
