John Cheever: Collected Stories and Other Writings (Library of America, No. 188)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Published to coincide with editor Blake Baileyâ€™s groundbreaking new biography, here is the definitive edition of the stories of John Cheever. Set in the tony suburbs of Westchester and Connecticut, Cheeverâ€™s classic stories charted a country as recognizable and essential to American literature as Faulknerâ€™s or Hawthorneâ€™s. â€œMany people have written about suburbia,â€ John Updike observed, â€œonly Cheever was able to make an archetypal place out of it.â€ Collected Stories and Other Writings combines the entire Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning collection, The Stories of John Cheever, with seven selections from his first book, The Way Some People Live (1943)â€”here restored to printâ€”and seven additional stories first published in periodicals between 1930 and 1953. Included are masterpieces such as â€œThe Enormous Radio,â€ â€œGoodbye, My Brother,â€ and â€œThe Swimmer,â€ as well as lesser-known gems. Rounding out the volume are essays about writers and writing, including an appreciation of F. Scott Fitzgerald and an account of a visit to Chekhovâ€™s house. A companion volume, Complete Novels, gathers Cheeverâ€™s five novels in one volume for the first time.
