书籍描述

内容简介

John Cheever's stories rank among the finest achievements of 20th-century short fiction. Ensnared by the trappings of affluence, adrift in the emptiness of American prosperity, his characters find themselves in the midst of dramas that, however comic, pose profound questions about conformity and class, pleasure and propriety, and the conduct and meaning of an individual life. At the same time, the stories reveal their author to be a master whose prose is at once precise and sensuous, in which a shrewd eye for social detail is paired with a lyric sensitivity to the world at large. The constants that I look for, he wrote in the preface to The Stories of John Cheever, are a love of light and a determination to trace some moral chain of being.

By the late 1940s Cheever had come into his own as a writer, achieving a breakthrough in 1947 with the Kafkaesque tale "The Enormous Radio." It was soon followed by works of startling fluency and power, such as the unsettling Torch Song, with its suggestion of menace and the uncanny, as well as the searing, beautiful treatment of fraternal conflict, "Goodbye, My Brother." Finally, when Cheever and his family moved to Westchester County in the 1950s, he began writing about the disappointments of postwar suburbia in such definitive classics as "The Sorrows of Gin," "The Five-Forty-Eight," "The Country Husband," and "The Swimmer."

This volume, published to coincide with Blake Bailey's groundbreaking biography, is the largest collection of Cheever's stories ever published, and celebrates his indelible achievement by gathering the complete Stories of John Cheever (1978), as well as seven stories from The Way Some People Live and seven additional stories first published in periodicals between 1930 and 1953. Also included are several short essays on writers and writing, including a previously unpublished speech on Saul Bellow.

A Booker Award winning fictional autobiography of an Australian 'bushranger' in the late 1800's written as a series of letters to his daughter purportedly in the style of Ned Kelly, an uneducated son of a transport convict who, despite good intentions, finds himself at the notorious head of an outlaw gang. Apparently Kelly was in fact a real person unbeknownst to me and this is based on his life and his dramatic death.

契弗1912年5月27日生于马萨诸塞州的昆西小镇。他就读于该州南布伦特里的塔耶学院,这是新英格兰一所古老、刻板的学校;当契弗进校时,拉丁语和希腊语仍然是必修课。在回忆这段学校生活时,契弗写道:“回忆起来,这学校似乎是相当令人歆羡的。校舍是世纪初的建筑物,偌大的窗扉,显得异常的沉郁。因为教室过于宽敞,冬季无法保暖,所以校方允许我们在拼写、变换拉丁语动词时,穿大衣外套,戴帽子、围脖和连指手套。我父亲的一位堂哥,曾经留学希腊,给学校遗赠了他几乎所有伯里克利时代雅典的艺术雕塑。就这样,我们戴着耳套,嘴里呵着顷刻变白的气,置身于一大群裸体的男、女雕塑之间。当我后来渐渐长大,才真正意识到这种情景令人默默冁然的讽喻。我当时关心的是,学校并不致力于给我们以教育,而只是追求让我们全考上哈佛大学,并能在那儿循规蹈矩,至少待上一年。”可是,这种教育并不是契弗所喜欢、所追求的。十六岁那年,他拒绝背诵希腊剧作家的名字,这些剧作家的作品他一部也不读。因此,他被揪往校长办公室,校方很快开除了他。根据这次被开除的经验,他写了一篇小说《被开除》,描述他对现存的机械式教育制度的失望情绪,寄给《新共和杂志》。当时,美国著名文艺批评家、诗人和翻译家马尔科姆·考利正在《新共和杂志》当编辑。考利给契弗写了一封回信,说准备刊登。契弗当时正在缅因州,收到信后欣喜若狂,为了庆祝这一事件,初夏的一天,他独自登了一座山。那年秋天,契弗到纽约找考利,考利在自己寓所非常客气地接待了契弗。于此,开始了契弗与考利持续一生的友谊。契弗后来回忆道:“考利无异于我的父亲,而我是他的学生——也许是个半路出家的学生。”考利后来又把契弗介绍与《纽约客》编辑凯瑟琳·安吉尔·怀特相识。契弗于此就成了《纽约客》的主要投稿人,经过怀特的手,发表了一百二十篇短篇小说。
