| | 1. |  | The Stories of John Cheever
from Vintage
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
Of all the archetypal New Yorker short story writers of the Twentieth Century- John O'Hara, John Updike, Alice Adams, J.D. Salinger- perhaps the best of them was John Cheever- and he was certainly the best of the three big Johns. That said, I do not particularly like John Cheever's stories. Of the... more info

| | 2. |  | The Wapshot Chronicle (Perennial Classics)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
The further I got into the book,the less interested I became in the characters themselves. Cheever has molded them into people who are also archetypes, and this seems to reverberate more deeply as the novel advances. I don't particularly follow Jung's archetypal images, don't care much about them,... more info

Dismally imprisoned in Falconer at 48 years of age, Farragut is introduced to the readers. We immediately learn that he is a man who murdered his brother, and then the book explains what he does day to day inside the walls of Falconer.

| | 4. |  | The Wapshot Scandal (Perennial Classics)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
If you have not yet read The Wapshot Chronicle, I strongly urge you to read that novel before this one. The Wapshot Scandal is written as a sequel to The Wapshot Chronicle, and the situations and character development in the first book are important background for the second one.Cousin Honora is... more info

| | 6. |  | Bullet Park
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
The line on John Cheever is that he was a great short story writer who faltered down the stretch. Nothing about "Bullet Park", one of his few novels, makes one think otherwise.
Published in 1969, "Bullet Park" resonates with Cheever's Westchester County-based concerns about substance abuse,... more info

| | 7. |  | The John Cheever Audio Collection
from Caedmon
Price: $29.95
Customer Review:
Let nobody fool you with adjectives about Cheever's fictional voice -- elegant, supple, crisp, resonant. 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,... more info

| | 8. |  | Oh What a Paradise It Seems
from Vintage
Price: $11.05
Customer Review:
I caught this title from the series 'Judging Amy'. Great triggers in that series. It was very thought provoking...so many levels...I must read it again. Would be a good discussion book, but I enjoyed it all by myself. Do they still read this in college? Maybe my nephew has thoughts...I never read... more info
