Much of this material appeared in Æ's journal <i><a href="/wiki/Irish_Statesman" title="Irish Statesman">Irish Statesman</a></i>. </p><p>From the early 1930s following the publication of his first volume of short stories, <i>Guests of the Nation</i> (1931), to his death in 1966 he was a prolific writer of short stories (c. 160), translations of a wide range of Irish poetry (c. 120), plays, both alone and in collaborations (c.10), novels (2) as well as works in non-fiction covering topics in literary criticism and theory, travel, Irish culture, and biography. His work as an Irish teacher complemented his plethora of translations into English of Irish poetry, including his initially banned translation of <a href="/wiki/Brian_Merriman" title="Brian Merriman">Brian Merriman</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Brian_Merriman#Cúirt_An_Mheán_Oíche" title="Brian Merriman"><i>Cúirt an Mheán Oíche</i></a> (<i>The Midnight Court</i>). Many of O'Connor's writings were based on his own life experiences – notably his well-known <i>The Man of the House</i> in which he reveals childhood details concerning his early life in County Cork. The Sullivan family in this short story, like his own boyhood family, is lacking a proper father figure. </p><p>In other stories, his character Larry Delaney, in particular, is reminiscent of events in O'Connor's own life.

U.S. President <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" title="John F. Kennedy">John F. Kennedy</a> remarked anecdotally from <i>An Only Child</i> at the conclusion of his speech at the dedication of the Aerospace Medical Health Center in San Antonio on 21 November 1963: "Frank O'Connor, the Irish writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall—and then they had no choice but to follow them.
