When John Cheever discusses the “invincibility of literature,” it’s like hearing God speak. Literature is “the most serious and exalted dialogue that goes on between mature and well-informed men and women,” he also said. How very true.
Right on, sir. And I can see a bit of the Cheever influence in the stories in What You Don’t Know About Men, I think.
