Description:
A small country town and the larger milieu of Washington provide the setting for this most human of novels. John Cheever, who fist made his name as a writer of short stories, paints in The Wapshot Chronicle the engaging portrait of an American family. The doings of the venerable Cousin Honora, the escapades of Moses and Coverly, the lusty Wapshot sons, and the poignant journal of their father, Leander, amaze, intrigue, and touch us by turns.
