Far beyond the narrow calvinism that informs his outlook, there is something almost pantheistic in his love of our world, and in the sheer possibilities of human experience. Life itself is, literally, without end, and the marvellous can flower in the most unlikely of contexts. To put that another way, adventure is just around the corner, and this makes John Cheever a story-teller in the truest, time-honoured sense Read more https://as-it-were.com/the-applecore-in-the-ashtray/ Martin Luther, Plymouth, Covenant Theology, Reformed Theology, Gifts For History Buffs, Iconic Artwork, Writers

Cheever was never the out-of-touch, suburban squire he pretended to be, but a chronic alcoholic and compulsive adulterer who could not, or would not, renounce his vices. His Journals recount his struggles with unsparing honesty and acute self-loathing, and his more perverse protagonists are obvious projections of his darker self.

«Outside I could hear the brook, some night bird, moving leaves, and all the sounds of the night world seemed endearing as if I quite literally loved the night as one loves a woman, loved the stars, the trees, the weeds in the grass, as one can love with the same ardor a woman’s breasts and the applecore she has left in an ashtray.” Read more: https://as-it-were.com/the-applecore-in-the-ashtray/ Joan Mad Men, Red Formal Dress, Red Dress, Hobble Dress, Joan Harris, Woman Illustration, Voluptuous Women, Christina Hendricks
