About
The acclaimed sequel to Pulitzer Prize-winner John Cheever's National Book Award-winning first novel, The Wapshot Chronicle.
In this darkly comic yet deeply compassionate follow-up to his canonical classic, The Wapshot Chronicle--which won the National Book Award--John Cheever continues the story of the Wapshot family, longtime residents of the quintessential Massachusetts fishing village of St. Botolphs. In these further adventures, some members of the Wapshot clan will roam far from New England, while, closer to home, others grapple with the ghosts of the past--and their own inner demons. Told through the interweaving stories of several generations, The Wapshot Scandal follows the lives of one eccentric, sometimes tragic, family, and the scandals that plague them. John Cheever was born in 1912. He is the author of seven collections of stories and five novels. He won the National Book Award for The Wapshot Chronicle and the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for The Stories of John Cheever. He also received the Howells Medal for Fiction and the National Medal for Literature. He died in 1982.
