"Appointment in Samarra" by John O'Hara. ****


  • Summer read with Beth
  • Originally published in 1934
  • US author
  • Review: This is a fairly depressing tale of the dissolute upper middle class in the United States in the late 1920s.  Alcoholism, social hypocrisy,  and dishonesty seem to be the predominant traits of the country club set of characters.  Not a pretty picture!  Well written, but depressing.
