Synopsis

Book by Cheever John

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'In a class by itself, not only among Cheever's work but among all novels I know' Joseph Heller

Eliot Nailles loves his wife and son to distraction; Paul Hammer is a bastard named after a common household tool. Neighbours in Bullet Park, the two become fatefully linked by the mysterious binding power of their names in Cheever's sharp and funny hymn to the dubious normality of the American suburbs.

'Cheever's deepest, most challenging book' New York Times
