Won Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1979. viii, 693 pages ; 25 cm. . . . . . . . The Stories of John Cheever is a landmark 1978 collection of sixty?one short stories that span the length of Cheever?s career, tracing American life from city apartments to postwar suburbs and summer communities. The volume gathers his best?known pieces - including *The Enormous Radio,* *The Country Husband,* *The Five-Forty-Eight,* and *The Swimmer* - and explores themes of desire, moral compromise, marital strain, and the fragile rituals of middle?class comfort, often mixing precise realism with moments of fantasy or surreal dislocation. He is widely regarded as one of the finest American short?story writers of the twentieth century. John Cheever (1912-1982) was an American short?story writer and novelist often called *the Chekhov of the suburbs* for his ironic yet sympathetic portrayals of upper-middle?class life in New York, its commuter suburbs, New England towns, and Italy. Born in Quincy, Massachusetts, he published his first story as a young man and went on to place many pieces in The New Yorker, building a reputation through stories such as *The Enormous Radio* and *The Swimmer* and novels including The Wapshot Chronicle and Falconer. His work, marked by a blend of fantasy and social realism, examines the tensions between outward respectability and inner turmoil, and he received the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and enduring status as a central figure in twentieth?century American fiction.
