John Cheever (1912-1982). Cheever was a very grest author who had complete mastery of the English language. He was a master od the short story. His firsat Novel was the Wapshot Chronicle.

Here is a synopsis of the Wapshot Chronicle's."The Wapshot Chronicle's exploration of two boys’ journey into adulthood is more than a well-narrated coming-of-age story. Throughout the book, Cheever demonstrates his firm grasp on all things Northeastern. He knows the people and their habits and hangups and their somewhat peculiar hobbies, and he understands the struggle of family, love, and friends. His style leaves room for the reader to add his or her own input. Moods, intentions, messages -- many things are tacitly told, allowing the reader to put in his or her own spin on the book. Though The Wapshot Chronicle received the National Book Award, it seems to lack the big, life-changing events and trials which one usually experiences during the maturation process. But John Cheever’s foray into novel writing results in an excellently written book unique in a genre that already occupies lots of room in bookstores and bookshelves everywhere." © 2003 by Carlyle Mok for Curled Up With a Good Book.
