But The Wapshot Chronicle  which won the 1958 National Book Award  established him as a major novelist. Based in part on Cheevers adolescence in New England  the novel follows the destinies of the impecunious and wildly eccentric Wapshots of St. Botolphs  a quintessential Massachusetts fishing village. Here are the stories of Captain Leander Wapshot  venerable sea dog and would-be suicide; of his licentious older son  Moses; and of Moses adoring and errant younger brother  Coverly. Tragic and funny  ribald and splendidly picaresque  The Wapshot Chronicle is a family narrative in the tradition of Trollope  Dickens  and Henry James.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984109367349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060528877","price":30.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060528874.jpg?v=1770823694","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-wapshot-chronicle-perennial-classics","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
