About this listen
In this dark suburban drama, Cheever concerns himself with the two neighbors: Eliot Nailles, who loves his wife and son to distraction, and Paul Hammer, who, according to Nailles, is a bastard named after a common household tool. The pair soon become fatefully linked by the mysterious binding power of their names.
As an added bonus, when you purchase our Audible Modern Vanguard production of John Cheever's book, you'll also receive an exclusive Jim Atlas interview. This interview – where James Atlas interviews Blake Bailey about the life and work of John Cheever – begins as soon as the audiobook ends.
This production is part of our Audible Modern Vanguard line, a collection of important works from groundbreaking authors.©1969 John Cheever (P)2009 Audible, Inc.Critic reviews

Unbearably Bleak
Cheever is an outstanding writer, not known for writing stories full of optimism but still, I found this novel almost unbearably bleak.

DATED.
Author's third novel, his first novel, "The Wapshot Chronicle", won the National Book Award in 1958 and he was awarded the Howells Medal in 1965 and the Pulitzer Prize For Literature in 1979 for "The Stories of John Cheever".
A very dated novel and some of the dated bigotry will jar a modern reader. I did however find it interesting as a document from a particular time in recent American history. It is meant to be satirical and the story is a little odd to say the least, but if you have an interest in American Literature then this is a good book to read.
