A short summary of The Stories of John Cheever:
Short (and sometimes sordid) stories on the day-to-day doings of New York's upper crust.
My favorite John Cheever quote from the book:
"You don't really long for another country. You long for something in yourself that you don't have or haven't been able to find."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Do you seek out comfort?
What makes you cry?
My review of The Stories of John Cheever:
The (oh so fun to read about) drama-filled lives of the upper middle class.
Chock full of entertaining tales and thought-provoking narrations.
Crammed with lessons I wish I had learned earlier.
