When All the Men Wore Hats: On the Stories of John Cheever
Susan Cheever 

Among the Giants – For me, John Cheever stories almost always convey a sense of sorrow, surprise and seriousness. They depict humans as we are, wounded and wonder-filled, often at the same time. Cheever takes storytelling seriously and his focused intention elevates his tales beyond literature to lasting art. If you can’t tell, I’m a huge fan. And so, I loved his daughter Susan’s reflections here about her father and her father’s work. Susan Cheever is an accomplished writer on her own, not without similar intent. She possesses the ability to see her father with a degree of objectivity that only someone so intimately close could perceive.
