"Susan Cheever...decants the ups and downs of a remarkable man
[and] does so in her distinctive style: succinct chapters, pithy
profiles and telling detail...even more important are the insights
and empathy so credibly her own as a reformed drinker who attended
meetings of AA with her father, novelist John Cheever."
