”Det lilla samhället hänger, i såväl moraliskt som ekonomiskt hänseende, i en tunn tråd, men det hänger i sin tråd i det svaga kvällsljuset.” John Cheever kallades ”sovstädernas Tjechov” och blottlade det som efterkrigstidens USA inte ville kännas vid: otrohet, alkoholism, rasism, karriärism. Här samlas hans klassiska berättelser – som ”Simmaren” och ”Farväl, min bror” – i nyöversättning av Hans-Jacob Nilsson.
