âDet lilla samhĂ€llet hĂ€nger, i sĂ„vĂ€l moraliskt som ekonomiskt hĂ€nseende, i en tunn trĂ„d, men det hĂ€nger i sin trĂ„d i det svaga kvĂ€llsljuset.â John Cheever kallades âsovstĂ€dernas Tjechovâ och blottlade det som efterkrigstidens USA inte ville kĂ€nnas vid: otrohet, alkoholism, rasism, karriĂ€rism. HĂ€r samlas hans klassiska berĂ€ttelser â som âSimmarenâ och âFarvĂ€l, min brorâ â i nyöversĂ€ttning av Hans-Jacob Nilsson.
