In this dark suburban drama, Cheever concerns himself with the two neighbors: Eliot Nailles, who loves his wife and son to distraction, and Paul Hammer, who, according to Nailles, is a bastard named after a common household tool. The pair soon become fatefully linked by the mysterious binding power of their names.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"The tone of a summing-up and the tension of a vision." (The New York Times)
"John Cheever is an enchanted realist, and his voice, in his luminous short stories and in incomparable novels like Bullet Park and Falconer, is as rich and distinctive as any of the leading voices of postwar American literature." (Philip Roth)

Cheever is an outstanding writer, not known for writing stories full of optimism but still, I found this novel almost unbearably bleak.

Unbearably Bleak

I absolutely loved this book a good down to earth story humorous at times of you. Like Hemingway Fitzgerald Alan silitoe John braine and Stan Barstow then you will be at home here

A tremendous book

Author's third novel, his first novel, "The Wapshot Chronicle", won the National Book Award in 1958 and he was awarded the Howells Medal in 1965 and the Pulitzer Prize For Literature in 1979 for "The Stories of John Cheever".

A very dated novel and some of the dated bigotry will jar a modern reader. I did however find it interesting as a document from a particular time in recent American history. It is meant to be satirical and the story is a little odd to say the least, but if you have an interest in American Literature then this is a good book to read.

DATED.
