Understanding James Leo Herlihy is the first book-length study of one of America’s most neglected post-war writers. Herlihy (1927-1993), an occasional actor, made his professional mark in life as a playwright and novelist. Herlihy’s body of work includes numerous plays, two collections of short stories, and three novels. His best-known novel, Midnight Cowboy, was later adapted into a screenplay by John Schlesinger. It was the only X-rated movie to receive an Academy Award―three, in fact, in 1969: best picture, best director, and best adapted screenplay.In Understanding James Leo Herlihy, Robert Ward examines Herlihy’s writing with reference to its historical, cultural, and personal contexts. Ward portrays Herlihy as a product of his environment, influenced by the 1950s and 1960s culture, including the youth rebellion, the erosion of the traditional family, and the increasing sexual liberation. Herlihy’s award-winning novels, plays, and short stories display persistent themes of displacement, alienation, and the loss of innocence―all themes that Ward views as parallel to Herlihy’s personal life.Through a biographical introduction and a detailed discussion of the major novels, plays, and short stories, Ward details the writer’s successful works.
