A Rage to Live by John Ohara
This study of the United Nations in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific evaluates the organization's role and performance in Cambodia and over refugees; regarding human rights, development, environment and the needs of women; within regional cooperation; and as an instrument of state policy. These cases illustrate how multilateral conduct through the United nations provides a barometer indicating the intensity with which policy initiatives and values are sustained by relevant governmental interests alike. In the regional settings considered, conduct towards and within the UN has amplified unresolved value differences regarding relations with major powers, sustainability, and national identity.
John O'Hara (1905-1970) was born and raised in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, a small city that became the setting for many of his novels and stories. As a young man he moved to New York City, where he began a long, fruitful, and often contentious relationship with The New Yorker, publishing more stories there than any other writer. His many novels include Appointment in Samarra (1934), Butterfield 8 (1935), and Ten North Frederick (1955); Pal Joey (1940) was adapted into a successful and often revived musical. Steven Goldleaf, editor, is the author of John O'Hara: A Study of the Short Fiction and editor of John O'Hara: The New York Stories. He is Professor of English at Pace University.
