TWo by O Hara consists of two pre-
viously unpublished works from
John O Hara s most brilliant period,
when he wrote Ten North Frederick,
From the Terrace, and Ourselves to
Know. The Man Who Could Not Lose
(1959), an original screen story, and
FarFrom Heaven (1962), a play, dem-
onstrate thematically and stylistically
the essential features of O Hara s art.
Both works deal with his favorite
theme, the effects of loneliness and
isolation, and both rely on O Hara s
masterful command of dialogue.
The Man Who Could Not Lose is an
original screen story in the form of a
skeletal novel, which was commis-
sioned by Twentieth Century-Fox but
never made into a movie. The title
character is Martin Ziegler, one of the
world s most brilliant financiers, who
lives in self-imposed exile after steal-
ing some four million dollars from
American investors. His exile pro-
vides him with an edge in his busi-
ness dealings: Ziegler prefers to
operate without regard for politics,
patriotism, or friendship and se-
quentially serves as financial adviser
to the governments of Mussolini,
