	Reading "The Wapshot Chronicle" - Salon
		"The Wapshot Chronicle" was confusing and disorienting -- and also annoying -- me. I was drying my ticket underneath the automatic hand drier (the stares of the other bathroom visitors indicating they had never seen someone drying an airplane ticket before), as my name was repeatedly paged.
		If Cheever's best short stories are masterworks of omission and indirection, "The Wapshot Chronicle," the uncharacteristic winner of a National Book Award for fiction (the committee in 1958 was actually giving him a belated award for his stories, right?), is a maximalist project, a mad, breathless, digression-filled spectacle.
		In bald summary, "The Wapshot Chronicle" is the family saga of several generations of Wapshots of the fishing village of St. Botolphs.

	The Wapshot Chronicle (Perennial Classics) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Tragic and funny, ribald and splendidly picaresque, The Wapshot Chronicle is a family narrative in the tradition of Trollope, Dickens, and Henry James.
		The Wapshot Chronicle is essentially more of the same, more of the short story magic that established Cheever as what he was (and at least to me shall always remain): a magnificent story-teller and stylist who weaved brutal honesty into his poetic tales of tragedy and disillusion.
		The Wapshot Chronicle is one of those big family stories that details parts of the lives of three generations, while providing a sense of those who came before.

	John Cheever
		"This second novel...about the Wapshot family is a delectable and glorious piece of fiction, especially in the three main strands of its subject matter: the pitiful lust of a well-meaning upperclass woman; the harm done by a scientist who lacks a grounding in the humanities; the humor inherent in old age.
		I have friends who claim they could never get into this book, and my advice to them is pick it up and start again at page 53 after which there is a great deal of the customary absurdity over which we lovers of Cheever drool.

		The Wapshot brothers seem to revile each other, although I'm somewhat unclear about the nature of their relationship.
		They both move to big cities, Moses eventually works in a diplomatic job "so secret that it cannot by discussed here" ("WHAT?!?" I wrote in the margins of my book), and Coverly, by far the least-bright of the Wapshot clan, gets a job as a department store stock clerk.
		As Coverly says to a psychologist at one point in the novel, "Well, sir, where I come from, I think it's hard to take much pride in being a man."
