The American novelist and playwright James Leo Herlihy was born in Detroit, Michigan, on February 27, 1927; he died in Los Angeles, October 21, 1993.
Herlihy formed strong relationships in the Black Mountain community, and his friendships with such figures as Anais Nin and the poet/potter M. Richards would provide inspiration and support in his future creative endeavors.
Herlihy is also the author of a collection of short stories and plays, A Story That Ends in a Scream and Eight Others (1967), and a novel about a young teenage runaway, The Season of the Witch (1971).

 ★ Reviews for Forde-Johnston,_James_Leo
Herlihy illustrates Joe Buck as a young man who is plagued by shallow and aloof folk from his hometown in New Mexico to the City of Houston to New York City.
Herlihy's writing reminds me of the films by director Kar-wai Wong; no matter how dismal the situation, it is portrayed so wonderfully that you wish you could hang around the scene.
Leo was a very normal little rabbit with a cotten tail and soft fur.

The Herlihy's of Ballyvourney were anciently cattle herders and horse riders, with a great love of hunting and fighting; but also of poetry, prophecy and story-telling.
With that in mind I have obtained details of all of the Herlihy's who lived in the vicinity of Killorglin, who are recorded in "Griffiths Valuations, 1852".

It came at the end of the revolutionary Swinging Sixties, at a time when the sexual mores were changing quicker than a hooker at Times Square turning tricks.
It was adapted by Waldo Salt from the blunt pulp novel by James Leo Herlihy.
In those changing times, many must have gotten confused by what they were seeing on the screen, but to look at that film now at a much later date is to see that much of its glitter has faded.

This is a Good Thing, and the boldness of selection is also, perhaps, one of the reasons why I found a good number of hits and misses in this book, instead of the predictable mediocrity of so many theme anthologies.
Stories that particularly struck me included those by Max Beerbohm, Elizabeth Bowen, F Marion Crawford, Max Eberts, James Leo Herlihy, Shirley Jackson, Joyce Carol Oates, Christopher Tilghman and William Trevor.
Those that fell flat included a number of the bigger guns: Franz Kafka, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Rudyard Kipling and Muriel Spark, to name but four.
