An Educated American Woman: The Stories of John Cheever *Online & In-Person* *NEW*

The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Cheever has been described as the Chekhov of suburbia. His stories explore themes such as the duality of human nature and nostalgia for a vanishing way of life characterized by local cultural traditions and a profound sense of community. In this class, we will read and discuss one short story per week. Please obtain The Short Stories of John Cheever (ISBN: 978-0-375-72442-8) and read "An Educated American Woman" for our first meeting.
