The Letters Of John Cheever
Price: $4.75
CHEEVER, JOHN; CHEEVER, BENJAMIN (EDITOR).: Simon & Schuster, New York, New York, 1988. Softcover. Good condition. Novelist, short-story writer, winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, John Cheever is one of America's most significant literary figures. At his death in 1982 he left an enduring body of published work which both perfectly captures the lives of a class of men and women n the middle of the century - their aspirations and tribulatins, their peccadillos as well as their graver sins - and elevates those smae lives to the transcendent level of myth. Cheever was also a prolific writer of letters, sometimes sending as many as thirty in a single week. The Letters of John Cheever, edited by the author's son Benjamin, is the first volume to present this significant addition to Cheever's literary legacy. Cheever used to urge his correspondents to throw away the letters he sent. "Saving a letter is like trying to preserve a kiss," he said. But despite this injunction, thousands of letters were saved. Collected, annotated and punctuated with passages from his copious journal, they present the story of a writer's life. And like all his stories, it is brilliantly told. As his editor and friend William Maxwell said, "John Cheever never wrote a bad letter. When he wrote to me it was always precisely as if he were on the high wire." Includes an Index. 397 pages. LETTERS. 40395X1 (Key Words: Letters, John Cheever, Benjamin Cheever, William Maxwell, Saul Bellow, Malcolm Cowley, John Updike, Eleanor Clark, Robert Penn Warren, Josephine Herbst, Irwin Shaw, Philip Roth, CorrespondenceYevgeny Yevtushenko, John Weaver, Arthur Spear, Katherine Anne Porter, The New Yorker, Tanya Litvinov, Hope Lange, Iole Felici, Frederick Exley, Susan Liley Cheever, Mary Cheever, Homosexuality, Phil Boyer, Elizabeth Ames). 0671687441
