The Stories Of John Cheever by John Cheever

Here are 61 magnificent stories, bringing together everything from five earlier collections (most out of print) - The Enormous Radio; The Housebreaker of Shady Hill; Some People, Places, and Things That Will Not Appear in My Next Novel; The Brigadier and the Golf Widow; and The World of Apples - as well as four major stories that have never been published in book form. The stories range from the gripping and profound "Goodbye, My Brother," in which two brothers, on a seaside vacation with their wives and children, enact a contest of desire and belief as ancient as Cain and Abel's, through the long list of stories that, one after another, have confirmed Cheever's importance and his genius - "O City of Broken Dreams," "The Sutton Place Story," "Torch Song," "The Pot of Gold," "The Season of Divorce," "The Chaste Clarissa," "The Cure," "The Country Husband," "The Geometry of Love," "The Swimmer," and "The Jewels of the Cabots.". This 1978 Knopf Paperback is in good condition. Heavy; Large. Spine sun creased and worn, bottom of spine peeling; cover faded; inside book very good.
