Rep. Peter King s last hurrah Print this article
The Last Hurrah is the finest fiction about American politics. Edwin O’Connor’s 1956 book won the
Atlantic prize for best novel, and John Ford made it into a movie.
Spencer Tracy won a best actor award for his portrayal of Frank Skeffington, a fictionalized James Michael Curley (the four-term Boston mayor, two-term convict, and one-term Massachusetts governor). O’Connor’s book and Ford’s film are valedictories to the broad-shouldered, deep-chested, Irish-Catholic Democratic political machines that ran Northeastern and Midwestern cities from about the Roaring 20s to around the time when things all went wrong in the late 60s.
