Meeting Agenda & Business
Pal Steven Goldleaf
presented the introduction to his upcoming collection of John O’Hara’s New York
Stories, to be published by Penguin later in 2013. The response was overwhelmingly positive and
all pals are awaiting publication with great anticipation. Steven shared the list of stories to be
included and emphasized his desire to highlight some of the later, less
anthologized work in this collection.
It was resolved that in an
effort to continue promoting participation among Society members, Robert Saliba
will (and, as of this date, has) begin sharing his thoughts and observations
relating to the Master on this blog.
Pals Steven Goldleaf and Robert Knott will also be preparing posts in
the future. Further discussion included the
brainstorming of topics for the blog that might be of interest to society
members.
The possibility of another
book club-style discussion of an O’Hara title at the summer meeting was raised
and it was resolved that members could suggest titles for discussion on this
blog. All members are encouraged to suggest a John O’Hara title that they would
like to discuss with other members in the comments section below. We’re open to all suggestions and no commitment
to attend the summer meeting is required.
