My favorite novelist, who beats them all hands down, is John O’Hara.

BUtterfield 8 (It’s a phone number; it’s spelled correctly)
Appointment in Samara
Hope of Heaven

Many have been made and re-made into movies. Liz Taylor in BUtterfield 8? An absolute STUNNER. Timeless classics.

Whether O’Hara was a big old drunk or not, I do not know; but most of his characters were...and with good reason, LOL!

BTW this string ‘morphs’ into John Cheevers and a cabin. Sounds like it would make a good Sienfeld episode.

Then again most things in life can turn into a Sienfeld..
