John Cheever, novelist, short-story writer, and winner of the
National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, was "an American
master" ("The Boston Globe"). He was also a prolific writer of
letters, sending as many as thirty in a week.
These letters, culled from thousands written to famous writers,
his family, friends, and lovers, paint an intimate and surprising
self-portrait that is as vivid as any character Cheever
invented.
Edited and annotated by his son Benjamin, Cheever's letters
trace his development as a writer and as a man. They reveal him to
be complex, flawed, and full of contradictions. On display are not
just his ambitions and weaknesses, or his cloaked bisexuality, but
the evolution of his wit and style -- and most of all, his immense
love of life.
