John Cheever's The Swimmer

"Swimmer" in the suburbs of 1960 combines all aspects of life, chasing a man's nightmare journey, fuses realism and surrealism "to create imagination, imagination and time of modern people" (Auser) 292) . At the beginning of the story, Ned Merrill decided to swim in the county using only the pool of the neighbor and tried to celebrate the beauty of that day. As the story progressed, when Ned lost the will to continue, it began to show a darker and surreal tone. Eventually, he tried over at home only to find out that his house was desolated and cruel and empty.

John Cheever's "swimmer" is a perfect reading for the decline of the summer where evening thunderstorms relieve the heat when the children are playing under the moonlight - they know their freedom will end soon I will. For more than 50 years since its first publication in New Yorker, Chieber's story has become a favorite of readers who have undergone undergraduate ceremonies, most of the graduate curriculum writing curriculum, and for a long time left the classroom . As James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues" and Flannery O'Connor's "Good people are hard to find" are often downgraded to downgrades, and Cheever's story has its own summary. The genius of the Chieber's story is how it judges, but eventually it resists myths. Odyssey's story takes a pose, but it is still accompanied by rural areas and absolutely suburban pain

When John Cheever started writing "Swimmers" for the first time, he thought it was a novel - he wrote a lot of space before actually rethinking. As Black Bailey mentioned in his biography, "Soon, Chif doubted that he had a very good novel in his hand," but his confidence gradually became dissatisfied. I carved his carefully polished story. Michael Chabon reads it for the first time in his teens and calls it a masterpiece of mystery, words, and sorrow. It will be a ghost story. "

John Cheever's swimmer. This is completed. Swimmer was first announced in New Yorker in 1964 and is now widely regarded as the most important American short story of the 20th century. Surrealism, sorrow, strangeness, this is a story of a man, they think of others' lives as swimmers in the backyard pool. James Baldwin went to see people. As I can not find a free copy of this story online, I will point to the Baldwin collection of American libraries. Going to see people is a cruel and sincere story about American racial violence. "Welcome to Men" first published in 1965 is an important part of American art, but some of the things the reader should know about include a truthful and vivid explanation of cruel cruelty .
