Description: Fine in Fine jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. "John Cheever's journals provide, of course, peerless insights into the creation of his novels and stories. But they are equally the record of a complex, often dark, always closely observed inner world. No American writer of comparable statue has, in this century, left such an unreservedly revealing and moving account of himself: ...." This book has 399 pages. read more
"This took me forever..to finish up...it's amazing, and each entry makes his struggle with alcohol/life/wife/son/daughter/himself so much more concrete."
"A comforting voice to have around when you need one. As with Richard Ford, I'm surprised by how much I identify with a forty year old, though that surprise is waning... Also a nice portrait of someone living outside NYC in the 50s, suffers from insomnia, and always racked by doubt. It's on my bedside table, and probably will be for the next year."
