Cheever: A Life, Part 1

Malcolm Hillgartner

4.6/5 ( ratings)

"I might be forgotten tomorrow," John Cheever once told an interviewer, adding, "it wouldn't bother me in the least." This tight-lipped observer might have been lying, but there is little doubt that the long-lived author who won nearly every extant literary award would be appalled that he is now best remembered in many circles for his bisexuality and a Seinfeld skit about his secret passion. Blake Bailey's biography focuses on the gaping disparity between Cheever's proud Yankee social persona and his lifelong inner turmoil. Cheever: A Life presents a man who could have emerged fully constituted from one of his masterful novels or short stories.
