Arannisa Hanifauzia arannisahanifauzia — Liseyi ilkokulumun son birkaç haftasında ilk kez izledim. Şimdi kitaba yakalandım. Yıl 1972 idi. Şimdi bütün dünya ne bildiğimi biliyor. Bu harika bir kavramsal darbeydi. Kitap, filmi daha önce görmüş ve ikisini de seven birine iyi yazılmış ve ikna ediciydi.

Gabrielli Galeazzi gabrielligaleazzi — This moves along with humor and old-fashioned New Englandness (is that a word?) and I expected to give it a solid four stars. But the ending made my heart sing and I will not feel stingy. I quibbled with Cheever off and on in this. There are two aging/elderly female characters who are single, wealthy, use that wealth to wield power, and wish to live in a chaste world. Well, almost. Honora Wapshot wants to leave her wealth to her nephews, but only if they produce sons. In any case, I could not relate to either of these women on any of the above points. Their wealth and power and wishes are not mine. There is quite a bit of lusting going on here and often it is fulfilled. Not explicitly, of course, as this was first published in 1957. Cheever is especially humorous when the lusting is only wishful. Much of the lusting equates with love. I cheered and smiled, smiled and cheered. The Goodreads blurb describes Cheever's works as ... express[ing] a nostalgia for a vanishing way of life, characterized by abiding cultural traditions and a profound sense of community, as opposed to the alienating nomadism of modern suburbia. I don't know if "nostalgia" is quite the right word, but this world was certainly vanishing when this was first published and is probably now gone. I expect that many in my generation, and the few of the prior generation still around, will feel Cheever is familiar. Younger folk may wonder why this is special.
