Sounds like he was pretty successful, but just couldn't stop thinking about the people better than him

Yeah that's exactly what he was as far as i can tell. Talented guy but less brilliant than he thought he was, which always makes for the funniest kind of person

the synopsis of his first novel sounds like him

This is a novel of the last 36 hours in the life of Julian English. it is a novel that explores the life of a man who is bent on self-destruction but is not consciously aware of that. Julian English has all the outward signs of success but inwardly is racked with self-hatred. He owns a Cadillac dealership in an affluent small town in Pennsylvania. He lives on the best street, belongs to the best clubs and has access to the most influential members of society. And yet he wants to destroy himself. He takes too much money from his business to support his affluent life. He has borrowed money from Harry Reilly, an influential businessman, to support that business and squandered it on unproductive assets. The business still cannot generate the cash to support his chosen life and he realizes that he will have to borrow yet more money..This leads to a downward descent into even more excessive drinking and a succession of violent self-destructive actions.

Wow that's a name I hadn't seen in a while. What happened to him?

Pretty stupid for that BUtterfield 8 cover to render the title in all caps. It shows the designer didn't understand the significance of the title in the book, which is that it's a phone number in the classic mnemonic style of the caps showing what to dial.

Specifically, it would be B-U-8 for that.

I think it fell out of use in the 60s, but I'm only aware of the practice because of books like this.

The moment I saw those satellite dish-sized ears and an upper lip that looked like he injected it with Botox, I figured his name was either Mc, Fitz, or O' something.

O'henry most probably was better than this dude, but I have not read and I am not going to read since I am not an emo anymore.

As I grow older, I have realized many of these authors are just emo teens who could write well.

I frankly didn't know any of this, though I also have never read anything of his.

All I know is that Updike referred to three New Yorker AL writers as 'The Three Johns': himself, Cheever, and this guy. I kinda assumed that that and his inclusion on the ModLib list meant he was a big boy. Guess not.

I'll read Appointment in Samara this year and see if he really was just a little guy.

He basically ruinied the career of a critic to the point he was still begging for mercy 50 years after the review which is objectively hilarious
