Title : Insomnia - John Cheever - book

• Summary

The short stories of John Cheever, that physician of the American soul who enchanted readers of the prestigious New Yorker for decades, are the keystone of American literature in the second half of the 20th century. The torments, neuroses, and defeats of the average American are examined as signs and symptoms of a society simultaneously disintegrating and renewing itself. The impossibility of saying things and living one's dreams without compromise: such is the secret thread that runs from one to the other of these sixteen short stories, chosen from among sixty that received the Pulitzer Prize in 1978, one of which, "5:48 PM," was taken up and continued by Raymond Carver in the collection The Vitamins of Happiness.
