About This Item
John Cheever's second collection of fourteen stories, after his youthful The Way Some People Live, which he later came to revile.
Published in the New Yorker magazine, Cheever achieved a kind of surrealistic breakthrough and his first fame with The Enormous Radio, about a device which transmits the thoughts of people living in an apartment building.
Repaired tear to front of jacket.
Synopsis
John Cheever tells the tale of a bored, upper-class housewife named Irene, who uses the radio as an escape from reality. She realizes she can hear the lives of her friends and neighbors, and becomes hooked on snooping.
