Cheever's main theme was the spiritual and emotional emptiness of life. He especially described the manners and morals of middle-class, suburban America, with an ironic humour which softened his basically dark vision. Cheever contrasted often the ordinary suburban milieu with the chaotic or hidden emotional states of his characters.
