Edward Joseph Harrington O'Brien
Edward Joseph Harrington O'Brien was a U.S. writer, poet, editor and anthologist.
O'Brien created a series of annual anthologies containing his selection of the previous year's best short stories by U.S. authors, The Best American Short Stories. In that he was succeeded by Martha Foley, who continued the work until her own death in 1977 without a great change in format.
