This outstanding collection by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist John Cheever shows the power and range of one of the finest short story writers of the last century.

Trade Review
I’ve read nothing better this year than The Stories of John Cheever. -- Peter McKay * Daily Mail, Book of the Year *
Cheever's accomplishment in his exacting art is proportionally large, as solid as it is brilliant, and likely to endure * New York Review of Books *
Currently I'm reading John Cheever's Collected Stories. My God, he was good -- David Mitchell
'The Swimmer' is a masterpiece of mystery, language and sorrow -- Michael Chabon
I reread Cheever's 'The Swimmer' late the other night. It had the effect that reading Cheever always has: it made me want to get up and start the futile task of trying to write something as measured yet mysteriously, heart-judderingly unexpected for myself -- Gordon Burns * Sunday Times *
