Description
This collection of letters by John Cheever, a novelist and short story writer, is edited by his son. He was winner of the National Book award and the Pulitzer Prize and was a prolific letter writer who addressed every aspect and period of his life in his correspondence. He wrote about his days as an aspiring writer to the years following the success of "The Stories of John Cheever", as well as his feelings about others' work, his bisexuality and successful battle with alcoholism. Among his correspondents were Saul Bellow, Malcolm Cowley, William Maxwell, John Updike, Robert Penn Warren and Philip Wroth and some of the most important people in his own life. Benjamin Cheever's last novel was "Falconer".
