Currently reading this excellent new book by Susan Cheever; a fascinating personal commentary on her late father's prize winning stories and the influence they had on many popular cultural experiences - e.g. she describes herself in the intro: "I am Sally Draper twice removed."
In a new memoir, Susan Cheever searches for the wellspring of her father’s genius—and digs through his secrets, Adam Begley writes.
I’m just finishing Susan Cheever’s new book, which made me remember a line from her father: “We seemed to be dancing on the grave of social coherence.”

William Orpen's radiant colours and his luscious textures celebrated not only wealth but sensuality, a quality deemed unnatural in the early years of the new century if you weren't Italian or French. This is his 'The Eastern Gown,' from 1906.
Just finished. Interesting novel using present day themes of relationship and unchecked altruism (with the flair of Albanian culture) left this reader asking throughout: did that person actually say that? Did I hear that response correctly?" 4/13 titles completed ☑️ @thebookerprizes.com
Just finished! Wonderful themes and characters with the flair of Albanian culture woven throughout.
That’s the kind of phrase that condenses experience into language so precisely, it's philosophical. @joycecaroloates.bsky.social
