MEDIA REVIEWS
I've read nothing better this year than The Stories of John Cheever.Cheever's accomplishment in his exacting art is proportionally large,as solid as it is brilliant,and likely to endureCurrently I'm reading John Cheever's Collected Stories. My God,he was good'The Swimmer'is a masterpiece of mystery,language and sorrowI reread Cheever's'The Swimmer'late the other night. It had the effect that reading Cheever always has: it made me want to get up and start the futile task of trying to write something as measured yet mysteriously,heart-judderingly unexpected for myself
