Wapshot Chronicle

"It is a story ribald and poignant by turn, a tapestry woven from threads of emotion, tragedy, comedy (or tragicomedy) and the irony so wonderfully evident in the author's short stories. Although his novel might at times seem to be a series of stories placed together as a literary mosaic, his talent is a controlled one, something that never gets out of hand. He is a pleasure to read, a fact that does not always apply to novels that win publishers' prizes."Cheever, John is the author of 'Wapshot Chronicle', published 2003 under ISBN 9780060528874 and ISBN 0060528877.
