"The thousands of nights
I have spent on sofas."
This quote
gives me the eerie feeling
that the ghost of John Cheever
is looking through
my bedroom window
To refer to the
is to be redundant
Anyone who wants
to be a writer
should read
from cover-to-cover

Inspired by a previous page you did on JOHN CHEEVER,
ReplyDeleteI read The Falconer and it is classic American Literature.
Mr. Cheever was a sexual animal and a devout Catholic.
Now, it behooves me to paraphrase your comment
about John's shame/guilt that he enjoyed
sex with men:
That shame and guilt was the cauldron
that stoked the fire of his genius.
Had he shamelessly accepted his homosexual pleasures,
he would have been a mediocre novelist.
Oliverio says Thank You...for approximating
Deleteand improving the comment I had made
If there was no GUILT in this world,
ReplyDeletethere would be nothing but crappy fiction.
Those words deserve to be in bold print
Deletebut I hope no suspects me
of having written them
