Pal Joey is a 1940 epistolary novel by John O'Hara,[1] which became the basis of the 1940 stage musical comedy and 1957 motion picture of the same name, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart.[2][3] It was originally written as a series of episodic short stories in The New Yorker in the late 1930s.[4]
