By John Myers O'Hara

Book Overview

Manhattan is a novel written by John Myers O'Hara, first published in 1932. The story is set in New York City during the early 20th century and follows the lives of several characters who are connected through their experiences in the city. The main character, Tom O'Flaherty, is a young man from a small town in Pennsylvania who moves to Manhattan to pursue a career in advertising. He becomes involved with a group of wealthy socialites, including the beautiful and manipulative Eleanor Brown, and struggles to navigate the complexities of their world. The novel explores themes of class, ambition, and love, as well as the changing social landscape of New York City during the years leading up to the Great Depression. O'Hara's writing is known for its sharp wit and insightful observations of human behavior, and Manhattan is considered one of his most enduring works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
