A review by curtiswastaken
Appointment in Samarra by John O'Hara

5.0

And so begins the "I only read John O'Hara" phaser of my life. The dialogue and internal monologue are written so smoothly it seems like it's so simple to do. And the "drunk" writing is really off the charts great. Very funny now to consider that this was once a book full of gratuitous sexual content when the content itself is so tame and indirect compared to something like splatterpunk.
