The Cheevs

Well, hey there, who is this fine gentleman?

It's John Cheever, of course!

Yesterday I went to the library's monthly book sale and I scored this Collected Stories for only a dollar. As is usually the case with me, it will be awhile before I get to reading any of the books I bought. My reading list is a mile long. I'm excited about this one, though. I've read a little John Cheever (I have a very distinct memory of staying home in bed one weekend night in college and reading one of his story collections), but I only remember two of his stories really clearly. Those two are, as any good former creative writing major knows, The Swimmer and Goodbye, My Brother.
