John Cheever among his eleven books was perhaps best known for his short stories dealing with upper middle class suburban life. Offered here is a First Edition of one of Cheever's great novels, Bullett Park. The book was published in 1969 and it is signed thus John Cheever on first empty fly leaf page. the book is in good condition as is the dust jacked that is price clipped. This particular novel deals with Cheever's chronicling of suburban life of America in the 50's and 60's which he viewed as often an empty and vaccuous wastland where idividuals were ofter harly what they seemed to be. It is not in dispute that Cheever was a mastr story teller and one of America's great novelists of the past century. One reviewer said about this book: "The opening is genius,
and it grabbed me and took me straight to the conclusion. That
suggests a gift for storytelling, and most writers don't have
it. For that alone, anything less than high praise seems unfair
here." Price:sold |
