Ten North Frederick is a novel by American author John O'Hara, originally published in 1935. The story focuses on the life of Joe Chapin, a Pennsylvania businessman, and explores themes such as ambition, power, and the complexities of human relationships. The novel offers a critical look at early 20th-century American society, revealing the tensions and contradictions that underlie the facade of respectability.
John Henry O'Hara was an American writer. He was one of America's most prolific writers of short stories, credited with helping to invent The New Yorker magazine short story style. He became a best-selling novelist before the age of 30 with Appointment in Samarra and BUtterfield 8. While O'Hara's legacy as a writer is debated, his work was praised by such contemporaries as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and his champions rank him highly among the major under-appreciated American writers of the 20th century. Few college students educated after O'Hara's death in 1970 have discovered him, chiefly because he refused to allow his work to be reprinted in anthologies used to teach literature at the college level.
