  • John William Cheever (May 27, 1912 – June 18, 1982) was an American novelist and short story writer, sometimes called "the Chekhov of the suburbs. " His fiction is mostly set in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the Westchester suburbs, old New England villages based on various South Shore towns around Quincy, Massachusetts, where he was born, and Italy, especially Rome. He "is now recognized as one of the most important short fiction writers of the twentieth century. " While Cheever is perhaps best remembered for his short stories, he also wrote a number of novels, such as The Wapshot Chronicle, The Wapshot Scandal, Bullet Park (1969), and Falconer (1977). His main themes include the duality of human nature: sometimes dramatized as the disparity between a character's decorous social persona and inner corruption, and sometimes as a conflict between two characters (often brothers) who embody the salient aspects of both – light and dark, flesh and spirit. Many of his works also express a nostalgia for a vanishing way of life (as evoked by the mythical St. Botolphs in the Wapshot novels), characterized by abiding cultural traditions and a profound sense of community, as opposed to the alienating nomadism of modern suburbia. A compilation of his short stories, The Stories of John Cheever, won the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award. On April 27, 1982, six weeks before his death, Cheever was awarded the National Medal for Literature by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His work has been included in the Library of America.

  • John Cheever, contista estadunidense. De entre as suas obras mais famosas contam-se ' que recebeu o Prémio Pulitzer para ficção em 1979 e Falconer. Por vezes apelidado de "Chekhov dos subúrbios", a sua ficção utiliza como cenário o Upper East Side de Manhattan, os subúrbios de Westchester County, em Nova Iorque, e pequenas vilas e cidades de New England e South Shore, perto de Quincy, no Massachusetts, onde o escritor nasceu. Cheever ficou conhecido pelos seus contos (incluindo "The Enormous Radio", "Goodbye, My Brother", "The Five-Forty-Eight", "The Country Husband" e "The Swimmer"), mas também escreveu romances, como The Wapshot Chronicle, The Wapshot Scandal (William Dean Howells Medal, 1965), Bullet Park, and Falconer. A sua obra foca-se na dualidade da natureza humana: por vezes dramatizada como a disparidade entre a persona social conservadora dos personagens e a sua degradação interior, e por vezes como o conflito entre dois personagens (muitas vezes irmãos) que reflectem pólos contraditórios - luz e sombra, carne e espírito. Muitos dos seus livros exprimem também a nostalgia de um estilo de vida em extinção (tal como evocado pelo mítico St. Botolphs nos romances Wapshot), caracterizado por um profundo senso de comunidade e de tradições culturais, em oposição ao nomadismo alienante dos subúrbios. Uma compilação dos seus contos, The Stories of John Cheever, foi premiado com o Prémio Pulitzerna categoria de ficção, em 1979, e com o National Book Critics Circle Award. Em 1982, seis semanas antes da sua morte, Cheever foi galardoado com a Medalha Nacional para Literatura pela American Academy of Arts and Letters.
