One Of Two Very Literary Pages

________________________________________________________________________________________________



Despite the titles
being almost identical,
Scott Fitzgerald's 
THE SWIMMERS 
and John Cheever's
THE SWIMMER 
could not be
more different

Fitzgerald's story was first published in 1929

Cheever's story was first published in 1964

The only other thing they have in common
is their excellence in story telling


The next GoFather/Fitzgerald page
(the next page notwithstanding)
is  here
