“A biography of great immediacy. . . . There
are many sections of great poignancy, many funny things, many of
electric intimacy and candor . . . there is
spellbinding power, never more so than in describing Cheever’s
death, pages that are both terrible and deeply moving; one is
losing an old, beloved friend.” —James Salter, Los Angeles
Times Book Review “John Cheever: A Biography is clearly
an indispensable book. Donaldson moves gracefully from the personal
to the literary. . . . Solidly researched and
entirely readable, admiring of the writer and knowing about the
man. Stuffed with fascinating anecdotes. It’s a gut-wrenching
story. Donaldson tells it straight, without embellishment, and our
attention never strays.” —Dan Cryer, Newsday “A coup
of investigative reporting.” —Publishers Weekly “Both
erudite and earthly. What emerges is a rich tapestry that gives the
reader extraordinary insight into the workings of a master
storyteller’s mind.” —Jean Graham, New York Daily News
“John Cheever: A Biography by Scott Donaldson is as
readable and ‘unputdownable’ as any thriller.” —T.
Coraghessan Boyle “A revelation. What a triumph.”
—Frederick Exley “Donaldson has set a high standard
that other biographers will find difficult to equal.” —John
Blades, Chicago Tribune
