At the Book Fair

• A Singular Country by J.P. Donleavy, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
• Sweet and Sour, a collection of newspaper columns by John O'Hara.
• This Way Miss by George Jessel, purely an impulse buy.
• Celia's Secret: An Investigation by Michael Frayn, bought strictly on the author's reputation.
• Complete Plays, 1920-1931, by Eugene O'Neill, a Library of America edition. It's a shame these plays (like The First Man and The Hairy Ape) aren't produced more often; I think they hold up as well as the later stuff. Strange Interlude is an enormous undertaking, but it was done to great acclaim in London about a year ago.
