“a satisfactory burst of Caucasian music”
“the lamentation of vacuum cleaners”
“the uproar of a cocktail party that has overshot its mark”
I am now a huge fan of Cheever.
Also, I want Meryl Streep (and her daughters, Mamie Gummer and Grace Gummer) to read all the things to me.
Published in 1947 but is still completely relevant in today's society. The concept of a married couple owning a radio which allows them to overhear other people's conversations reminds me of the very nature of social media. Scrolling through a person's Facebook or Twitter feed, no matter how idealized they make their page, is similar voyeuristically.
