Sobre este artículo
NY: Harper & Brothers. 1957. 1st ed., 8vo in price-clipped dustjacket. Cheever's debut novel. The book itself is fine. The dust jacket is very good with a 1/2" closed tear at bottom right of front and upper front at spine an d light-wear elsewhere. Also a 2" square paper label announcing t he book's selection for the 1958 National Book Award. The label c ould probably be removed but I have left it in place. .
Sinopsis
John William Cheever was an American novelist and short story writer. His novel, The Wapshot Chronicle, won the National Book Award in 1958. The story is the family saga of the Wapshot family. Captain Leander Wapshot and his sons, Coverly and Moses, and their lives on the New England coast. The story is rendered through Leander’s diary and also through flashbacks; each revealing more about the eccentric family and unfolding the drama behind the small-town Massachusetts village. The novel’s vigorous, interesting characters explore the clash between pious and bourgeois respectability. A deeply compelling, funny yet sentimental novel that is deserving of being called a classic.

Sobre Armadillo & Dicker Books & Ephemera
80 Years of Selling Things People Could Easily Live Without -- but now Online only.*****CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
