The Stories of John Cheever	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Stories of John Cheever is a 1978 short story collection by, you guessed it, John Cheever.Cheever wrote four novels but spent most of his forty-odd years in literature writing short stories. The collection includes most of his most famous works dating back to the late 1940s, the majority of which were originally published in The New Yorker. Short stories in the collection include "Goodbye, My Brother", "The Enormous Radio", "The Hartleys", "The Five-Forty-Eight", "Reunion", and "The Swimmer", the latter of which was adapted into a movie starring Burt Lancaster.The stories are not connected, but have many similar themes. Cheever grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts, and most of his short stories were set in New York and New England, often dealing with suburban alienation and anomie in the upper-middle class in the post-World War II era. Cheever's stories are often said to have been a major influence on Mad Men, which dealt with similar people in a similar setting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Stories of John Cheever / int_7eebe99c	comment	The Alcoholic: Unsurpisingly, the central theme of "The Sorrows of Gin". Rosemary, the cook in the Lawton house, talks of the evils of gin, but comes home on the train one day smelling of liquor and drinking gin from a Coke bottle. She is fired. It turns out that Mr. Lawton himself is a drunkard who routinely needs alcohol to unwind and sometimes embarrasses himself by falling down at parties. In "The Scarlet Moving Van" Charlie has to deal with his neighbor "Gee-Gee" (G.G.), who drinks constantly and routinely makes a huge spectacle of himself at parties. He sometimes goes over to protect G.G.'s wife when G.G. is in one of his rages. The ironic ending comes on the very last page of the story, when it's revealed that Charlie himself has a major drinking problem that causes him to lose his job.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
