Reviews"John Cheever is an enchanted realist, and his voice, in his luminous short stories and in incomparable novels like Bullet Park and Falconer , is as rich and distinctive as any of the leading voices of postwar American literature." --Philip Roth "Cheever's deepest, most challenging book. It has the tone of a summing-up and the tension of a vision." -- The New York Times "A master American storyteller." -- Time "In a class by itself, not only among Cheever's work but among all the novels I know." --Joseph Heller "John Cheever's prose is always a pleasure to read because it is both graceful and governed." -- Chicago Tribune, "John Cheever is an enchanted realist, and his voice, in his luminous short stories and in incomparable novels like Bullet Park and Falconer , is as rich and distinctive as any of the leading voices of postwar American literature." -Philip Roth "Cheever's deepest, most challenging book.

SynopsisWelcome to Bullet Park, a township in which even the most buttoned-down gentry sometimes manage to terrify themselves simply by looking in the mirror. In these exemplary environs John Cheever traces the fateful intersection of two men: Eliot Nailles, a nice fellow who loves his wife and son to blissful distraction, and Paul Hammer, a bastard named after a common household tool, who, after half a lifetime of drifting, settles down in Bullet Park with one objective--to murder Nailles's son. Here is the lyrical and mordantly funny hymn to the American suburb--and to all the dubious normalcy it represents--delivered with unparalleled artistry and assurance., From "a master American storyteller" ( TIME ), Bullet Park traces the fateful intersection of two men: Eliot Nailles, a nice fellow who loves his wife and son to blissful distraction, and the man who, after half a lifetime of drifting, settles down in Bullet Park with one objective--to murder Nailles's son. Welcome to Bullet Park, a township in which even the most buttoned-down gentry sometimes manage to terrify themselves simply by looking in the mirror. In these exemplary environs Pulitzer Prize winner John Cheever delivers a lyrical and mordantly funny hymn to the American suburb--and to all the dubious normalcy it represents--written with unparalleled artistry and assurance. "A magnificent work of fiction.... A novel to pore over, move around in, live with." -- The New York Times
