After graduating from Harvard in 1950, O'Hara earned a master's degree in English from the University of Michigan in 1951. He would move to New York in the fall of that year and quickly burst onto the literary and art scene. This book is an important and cool connection to the young O’Hara’s intellectual and creative development.
