Curled like a cat on the old couch, Meryl Whitehurst wallowed in the delicious languor of a snowy afternoon, the silence broken only by the occasional crackle of the fireplace. In her hands was a copy of The Journals of John Cheever, a book her husband greatly admired. Now she could see why. Within its covers was a complete picture of the contemporary writer's inner life: paranoia, elation, heartbreaking loneliness, secret desires. Also inside was the day-by-day chronicle of a marriage, Cheever's mostly loveless, sexless alliance with his wife, Mary. Meryl inspected its pages ravenously, like a detective looking for clues.
