The novel I'm working on at the moment has turned out, in part, to be a meditation on some of my favorite John Cheever stories. What an extraordinary writer. It constantly amazes me that he is thought of these days, if he is remembered at all, as someone who wrote about the vagaries of upper middle class suburban alcoholics and bad marriages. His stories are so varied, and so surreal, and so perfect.
