When The Stories of John Cheever was originally published, it became an immediate national bestseller and won the Pulitzer Prize. In the years since, it has become a classic. Vintage Books is proud to reintroduce this magnificent collection.

Here are sixty-one stories that chronicle the lives of what has been called "the greatest generation." From the early wonder and disillusionment of city life in "The Enormous Radio" to the surprising discoveries and common mysteries of suburbia in "The Housebreaker of Shady Hill" and "The Swimmer," Cheever tells us everything we need to know about "the pain and sweetness of life."

Review:
"John Cheever is an enchanted realist, and his voice, in his luminous short stories and in incomparable novels like Bullet Park and Falconer, is as rich and distinctive as any of the leading voices of postwar American literature." --Philip Roth

"As stories go, as compellingly readable narratives of a certainsort of people in a certain time and place--our time and place--John Cheever's stories are, simply, the best." --The Washington Post

"Profound and daring...some of the most wonderful stories any American has written." --The Boston Globe

"Not merely the publishing event of the 'season' but a grand occasion in English literature." --The New York Times
Book Description:
The complete collection of award-winning stories from one of the finest American writers of the last century

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER NATIONAL BESTSELLER A seminal collection from one of the true masters of the short story. Spanning the duration of Cheevers long and distinguished career, these sixty-one stories chronicle and encapsulate the lives of what has been called the greatest generation. From the early wonder and disillusionment of city life in The Enormous Radio to the surprising discoveries and common mysteries of suburbia in The Housebreaker of Shady Hill and The Swimmer, these are tales that have helped define the form. Featuring a preface by the Pulizter Prize-winning author, The Stories of John Cheever brings together some of the finest short stories ever written. "Cheevers crowning achievement is the ability to be simultaneously generous and cynical, to see that the absurd and the profound can reside in the same moment, and to acknowledge both at the detriment of neither." The Guardian This Pulitzer Prize-winning collection features 61 stories that chronicle the lives of what has been called "the greatest generation." "Profound and daring . . . some of the most wonderful stories any American has written."--"The Boston Globe." Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780375724428
