Falconer
1992 · book
Stunning and brutally powerful, Falconertells the story of a man named Farragut, his crime and punishment, and his struggle to remain a man in a universe bent on beating him back into childhood. Only John Cheever could deliver these grand themes with the irony, unforced eloquence, and exhilarating humor that make Falconersuch a triumphant work of the moral imagination.
