SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY JULIAN BARNES  Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award  John Cheever - variously referred to as Ovid in Ossining and the Chekhov of the suburbs - forever altered the landscape of contemporary literature. In a career that spanned nearly fifty years  his short stories  often published in the New Yorker  gave voice to the repressed desires and smouldering disappointments of 1950s America as it teetered on the edge of spiritual awakening and sexual liberation in the ensuing Sixties.  Up until now  John Cheevers stories have only been available in Collected Stories  but with Julian Barnes selection we have the first fully authorised introduction to Cheevers work. Satirical  fantastical  sad and transcendent  these are stories that speak directly to the heart of human experience  and remain a testament to the wit and vision of one of the most important and influential short story writers of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968040595509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1784875821","price":225.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781784875824.jpg?v=1770644901","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vision-of-the-world","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
