The Journals

John Cheever's journals reveal the inner life of this remarkable writer and the contradictions that drove him. He loved his wife and their children, but was acutely lonely; he loved women, but he also loved men; he was a great writer, but one whose acute levels of perception often crippled him as a person.

Jurnalele lui John Cheever dezvaluie viata interioara a acestui scriitor remarcabil si contradictiile care l-au motivat. Si-a iubit sotia si copiii, dar a fost extrem de singur; a iubit femeile, dar a iubit si barbatii; a fost un mare scriitor, dar unul ale carui niveluri acute de perceptie l-au paralizat adesea ca persoana.
