John O'Brien (novelist)
John O'Brien (21 May 1960 – 10 April 1994) was an American author. His first novel ''Leaving Las Vegas'' was published in 1990 by Watermark Press and made into a film of the same name in 1995.
==Life and career==
O'Brien was born in Oxford, Ohio, where his parents, Bill and Judy O'Brien, were both students at Miami University. He was the brother of writer Erin O'Brien. John grew up in Brecksville and Lakewood, Ohio, and graduated from Lakewood High School in 1978. He married Lisa Kirkwood in 1979, and the couple moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1982. His first novel, ''Leaving Las Vegas'', is dedicated to her.
Through a friend of his ex-wife, O'Brien got a gig writing Episode 37 of the animated series ''Rugrats'', "Toys in the Attic", which premiered in 1992 under his only known pseudonym, Carroll Mine. According to his sister, Erin, he was unhappy with editorial changes made to his script.
O'Brien committed suicide by gunshot two weeks after learning that his novel, ''Leaving Las Vegas'', was to be made into a movie. His father says that the novel was his suicide note. Two more of his novels were published posthumously: ''Stripper Lessons'' (Grove Press, 1997) and ''The Assault on Tony's'' (Grove Press, 1996), both of which had been left unfinished at the time of his death and were completed by his sister, Erin.〔 A third manuscript, ''Better'', was published by Akashic Press in 2009.
