The photographers were waiting like assassin. outside the door on the cold slate street. John O'Hara, the millionaire hermit novelist, sort of staggered down the churchsteps in front of me; his legs buckled as he reached the final step. He looked smaller than I would have thought from gossip about him as a barroom brawler 30 years ago. His Rolls Royce was waiting for him in front of the church. He was wearing a natty doublebreasted grey-check suit, ears sticking out like Gable and Mailer, eyes on the steps, speaking to no one.... Alert, but a stone misanthrope--that was the message.

--Seymour Krim, writing about John Steinbeck's funeral service (1969)
