Here is one of twelve magnificent stories, originally part of The John Cheever Audio Collection, in which John Cheever celebrates-with unequaled grace and tenderness-the deepest feelings we have.
As Cheever writes in his preface, ""These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybody wore a hat.""
This classic collection of short stories, including The Chaste Clarissa, is a must-have for any lover of American literary fiction.
Cheever's writing is both graceful and tender, transporting readers to a long-lost world of New York City's river light and Benny Goodman quartets.
