Title: Strikes a chord
Product review: These stories are about the everyday lives of extraordinary people. The appeal to one's own sense of tragic glory that one sees in the Cheever's characters is supremely effective. But the greatest accomplishment in these stories is the juxtaposition of completely rational plots worked through rationally by confoundingly coplex characters. Cheever's peel back the pretense of American WASPs and show us the bare souls of men we would otherwise be content to avoid and dismiss.
