Template:Italic title ODTAA (1926) by John Masefield is an adventure novel first published in February 1926.[1] The letters in its title stand for "One Damn Thing After Another".[2] It opens with establishing narrative describing the fictional nation of Santa Barbara, which "lies far to leeward of the Sugar States, is at the angle of the continent [of South America], with two coasts, one facing to the north, the other east. The city of Santa Barbara is in a bay at the angle where these two coasts trend one from each other."

The novel is set prior to the events described in Masefield's earlier novel Sard Harker.[3]

The novel inspired the orchestral overture, also titled ODTAA, by Doreen Carwithen.[4]
