The selection includes: the "Pennsylvania stories" which describe the men and women in the countryside where O'Hara grew up; the "Hollywood stories" that show that fabled land in the years of its greatest glory when O'Hara was working there as a screenwriter; and the "New York stories" which come from the days when O'Hara was a familiar figure in cafe society.
