I had a great time reading them. My favorite is the sad "Bayonne", and the riotously funny "The Opportunity". There are hints of Cheever's celebrated prose style, but all of these stories are marvelously constructed narratives. The book itself is okay. Except for the hideous yellow of the jacket and more than a few ...             The Wapshot Chronicle (Perennial Classics)21 reviews John Cheever Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2003 Memorable narrative. I believe that every one should read this book twice: the first to get touched by the beautiful story, the characters that pop up all the book, the almost tangible Cheever's New England, etc. - the second to understand and learn how a masterpiece is created and how some books became gifts to the mankind. This is the kind of book that you get upset when it is over and you start advising your ...             Vintage Cheever John Cheever Vintage, 2005 In his finely wrought novels and short stories, John Cheever created men and women, young and old, suburbanites and city dwellers, all of whom, whether they reside in St. Botolphs or Bullet Park or mid-century Manhattan or some other mythic place, are all recognizable as citizens of Cheever country.   Vintage Cheever contains an essential selection of the master?s short stories and selections from the novels The Wapshot Chronicle , Bullet ...             Addiction: Why Can't They Just Stop?10 reviews Rodale Books, 2007 Very educational This book was very informative and educational.

Highly recommended.             Falconer14 reviews John Cheever Vintage, 1992 Short and Powerful, But Some Will Not Like The Subject Matter I bought this novel almost by accident. I decided to buy and read the novel because it is a Penguin Classic and I had not read any of Cheever's other works, although I had read one short story by him. This is a short novel, or a long novella less than 160 pages. It follows part of the life of a man in prison. The novel is more than just a prison novel; but saying that, it is a prison novel ...             Oh What a Paradise It Seems5 reviews John Cheever Vintage, 1992 oh what a good start to reading john cheever This book is only a 100 pages and their is so much in a few words.

Yeah it's all that, but if you have not encountered him before, you will be thinking in other terms -- unsparing, discomforting, perhaps even unforgiving. But listen to all these discs through, arranged from early stories to later -- through a variety of fine professional voices ending with ...             The Wapshot Scandal (Perennial Classics)2 reviews John Cheever Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2003 perseverance pays off If you enjoyed the Wapshot chronicle, you will enjoy this,however he doesnt get into his stride until Chapter 6, or page 53. I have friends who claim they could never get into this book, and my advice to them is pick it up and start again at page 53 after which there is a great deal of the customary absurdity over which we lovers of Cheever drool. Thats all, enjoy!!             The Journals of John Cheever (Vintage International) John Cheever Vintage, 2008 In these journals, the experiences of one of the most renowned twentieth-century American writers come to life with fascinating, wholly revealing detail.

No American writer of comparable stature has left such an unreservedly revealing and moving account of ...             Bullet Park15 reviews John Cheever Vintage, 1992 "Paint me a small railroad station, then" I remember reading this book when it came out, and feeling disappointed that it wasn't a more powerful, apocalyptic novel. Those were the 60s after all, a time when we still looked to our novels for the answers to the day's problems. Cheever wasn't interested in solving problems. As we now know, he was torn in a psychic split between different parts of his identity--the average family man, ...             Collected Stories John Cheever Vintage, 1990 These outstanding stories of American award-winning novelist, John Cheever, show the power and range of one of the finest short story writers of the century.
