Editorial Reviews:

Synopsis:

In the novel that established his reputation as an unparalleled observer of the dialectic between passion and decorum, John Cheever followed the destinies of the impecunious and wildly eccentric Wapshots of St. Botolphs, Massachusetts.

Review:

"It is a story ribald and poignant by turn, a tapestry woven from threads of emotion, tragedy, comedy (or tragicomedy) and the irony so wonderfully evident in the author's short stories. Although his novel might at times seem to be a series of stories placed together as a literary mosaic, his talent is a controlled one, something that never gets out of hand. He is a pleasure to read, a fact that does not always apply to novels that win publishers' prizes."
