Edward Joseph Harrington O'Brien
Edward Joseph Harrington O'Brien (1890–1941) 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 (originally The Best Short Stories of 1915, and so on). In that he was succeeded by Martha Foley, who continued the work until her own death in 1977 without a great change in format.
He was married to writer, Romer Wilson, in 1923.
