The New York Stories by John O'Hara

5.0

These stories are about has-beens, wannabes, cheaters, hustlers, drunks, people that married into money or at their wits ends and putting everything they've got left into this one oportunity. They're all horrible, out of touch characters. But the dialogue is so compelling and witty that even if you're reading about a married woman and man cheating on each other, you like them and want to know where everything is going. There is a lurking brutality on every story, and you'll never know how is going to conclude.
