A biography of great immediacy… . There are many sections of great poignancy, many funny things, many of electric intimacy and candor … there is spellbinding power, never more so than in describing Cheever’s death, pages that are both terrible and deeply moving; one is losing an old, beloved friend. -James Salter, Los Angeles Times Book Review
John Cheever: A Biography is clearly an indispensable book. Donaldson moves gracefully from the personal to the literary… . Solidly researched and entirely readable, admiring of the writer and knowing about the man. Stuffed with fascinating anecdotes. It’s a gut-wrenching story. Donaldson tells it straight, without embellishment, and our attention never strays. -Dan Cryer, Newsday
A coup of investigative reporting. -Publishers Weekly
Both erudite and earthly. What emerges is a rich tapestry that gives the reader extraordinary insight into the workings of a master storyteller’s mind. -Jean Graham, New York Daily News
John Cheever: A Biography by Scott Donaldson is as readable and ‘unputdownable’ as any thriller. -T. Coraghessan Boyle
