Cheever nos presenta a Leander Wapshot, entrañable padre de familia; su respetable mujer, Sarah, y sus dos hijos, obligados a labrarse el futuro en la gran ciudad: Moses, un triunfador nato, y Coverly, un joven dubitativo ante su bisexualidad que bien podría ser un alter ego del autor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCálida e irónica, la mirada de Cheever despliega aquí su comprensión hacia nuestras debilidades y disecciona con lucidez el ocaso de los privilegios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen The Wapshot Chronicle was published in 1957, John Cheever was already recognized as a writer of superb short stories. But The Wapshot Chronicle, which won the 1958 National Book Award, established him as a major novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased in part on Cheever’s adolescence in New England, the novel follows the destinies of the impecunious and wildly eccentric Wapshots of St. Botolphs, a quintessential Massachusetts fishing village. Here are the stories of Captain Leander Wapshot, venerable sea dog and would-be suicide; of his licentious older son, Moses; and of Moses’ adoring and errant younger brother, Coverly. Tragic and funny, ribald and splendidly picaresque, The Wapshot Chronicle is a family narrative in the tradition of Trollope, Dickens, and Henry James.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RH Espanol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052993298672,"sku":"9788466342063","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788466342063_p0.jpg?v=1763739164","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788466342063","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
