    <![CDATA[When <strong>The Stories of John Cheever</strong> was originally published, it became an immediate national bestseller and won the Pulitzer Prize.  In the years since, it has become a classic.  Vintage Books is proud to reintroduce this magnificent collection.<br/><br/>Here are sixty-one stories that chronicle the lives of what has been called &quot;the greatest generation.&quot;  From the early wonder and disillusionment of city life in &quot;The Enormous Radio&quot; to the surprising discoveries and common mysteries of suburbia in &quot;The Housebreaker of Shady Hill&quot; and &quot;The Swimmer,&quot; Cheever tells us everything we need to know about &quot;the pain and sweetness of life.&quot;]]>
