John Cheever:
A Biography

"...there are many scenes of great poignancy, many funny things, many of electric intimacy and candor... There is spellbinding power, never more so than in describing Cheever’s death, pages that are both terrible and deeply moving; one is losing an old, beloved friend."

--James Salter, Los Angeles Times Book Review
