About the Book
This is the first new collection of John Cheever stories in more than 15 years, and the first time these stories have ever been collected. Cheever plunges us into a stark world of strike-breaking, down-and-outs, burlesque shows, desperate gamblers, and deferred hopes. Called "the best kept secret of American letters" and "a virtual literary treasure trove," they add a new dimension to the assessment of John Cheever's considerable reputation.
