- W1567364671 abstract "F ALL THE MEMORABLEcharacters in John O'Hara's fiction, surely none is as intriguing as Julian English, the protagonist of Appointment in Samarra. The events of the three days surrounding Christmas 1930 which culminate in Julian's suicide in his garage by his Cadillac motor car continue to have a grip ping effect on readers. Part of the staying power of Appointment in Samarra lies in the tantalizing question of the motivations for Julian's suicide. On the book's publication in 1934, reviewers questioned these motives, and they have been the subject of ongoing critical debate ever since. 1 O'Hara's Pennsylvania novels and stories can be examined together as an attempt to create a larger fictional landscape.

Near the end of the book, Grace Caldwell Tate, now a widow, visits Gibbsville to attend the SummerAssembly at the Lantenengo Country Club. The year is 1920. Julian English is a twenty year old college student who meets, dances, and flirts with the thirty-seven year old Grace. This brief encounter with Grace Tate reinforces much of what we know about Julian from Appointment in Samarra. First, he has had too much to drink.
