'Best' Cities?
Montreal:--
Got a call today from a 'researcher' at the National Geographic, trying to confirm O'Hara quote that 'the best cities to write about are New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco.' I told the researcher that I hadn't heard/read that statement, and that I couldn't remember any O'Hara works taking place in NO or SF. I guess that was good enough. The phone went dead.
Of course, I could be wrong. (There are so many better O'Hara boffins amongst membership than me!) So, there it is. If I'm wrong, quote chapter and vice.
