Essential John Cheever
These two stories from a master celebrate the deepest feelings we have with tenderness and grace. A radio has unnerving, magical qualities that addict its listener in The Enormous Radio. And in The Swimmer, deciding to move from swimming pool to pool, heading home, a man makes the trip from optimism to despair, realizing the emptiness of his society and himself.

- "Here are two magnificent stories in which John Cheever celebrates, with unequaled grace and tenderness, the deepest feelings we have. As Cheever wrote, "These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybody wore a hat.""@en
