What's the worst another drink could do? John Cheever pours out our
most sociable of vices, and hands it to us in a highball. From the
calculating teenager who raids her parents' liquor cabinet, only to
drown her sorrows in it, to the suburban swimmer withering away
with every plunge he takes, these are stories suffused with beauty,
sadness, and the gathering storm of a bender well-done. Seen
through the gin-lacquered looking glass of Cheever's writing, your
next drink may have you reaching for a lime and soda instead.
