Journals of John Cheever
John Cheever, Mary Cheever. Ballantine Books, $14 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-345-35896-7
From the late 1940s until a few days before his death of cancer in 1982, the eminent American author recorded daily encounters--with family, friends and, most powerfully, with conflicting impulses in himself--in these journals, which will likely prove as lasting a body of work as his fiction. A BOMC alternate; nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. (July)
