John Cheever (1912–1982)

He believed that sexual stimulation improved his concentration and even his eyesight: “With a stiff prick I can read the small print in prayer books but with a limp prick I can barely read newspaper headlines.”

- From Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey

“There is a terrible sameness to the euphoria of alcohol and the euphoria of metaphor.” ― John Cheever #dailyrituals #inktober #JohnCheever @masoncurrey

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, John Cheever - variously referred to as 'Ovid in Ossining' and the 'Chekhov of the suburbs' - forever altered the landscape of contemporary literature.   Satirical, fantastical, sad and transcendent, A Vision of the World is a collection of stories that speak directly to the heart of human experience, and remain a testament to the wit and vision of one of the most important and influential short story writers of the twentieth century. #bookdesign #bookcover #newbooks #avisionoftheworld #graphicdesign #coverdesign #thriller #johncheever #shortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGLv5KtwnA/?utm_medium=tumblr

«Sentirse abrazado y sostenido por el agua verde y cristalina, más que un placer, suponía la vuelta a un estado normal de cosas, y a Neddy le hubiese gustado nadar sin bañador, pero eso no resultaba posible, debido a la naturaleza de su proyecto. Salió a pulso de la piscina por el otro extremo —nunca usaba la escalerilla—, y comenzó a cruzar el césped. Cuando Lucinda le preguntó que adonde iba, respondió que iría nadando hasta casa. » 💦 Ya sé que a otros os encanta correr, pasear, hacer musculación o pilates; ver series en la bicicleta estática o meditar en la postura del loto. Lo mío siempre ha sido nadar, llevo toda mi vida nadando y he conocido muchas piscinas a lo largo de los años. Seguramente por eso me gusta tanto el famoso relato de John Cheever, El nadador.

For real this has been my entire life. I long to be back in Ireland and I’m homesick for countries like Norway, Japan, Korea that I’ve never been to. 😫 it sucks. #quote #JohnCheever #wordporn #wanderlust (at Lima, Ohio)

"The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think." 🌈 Maya Angelou 🌈 ~ I've been looking for an excuse to repost this vintage paperback rainbow so I'm sneaking in one last entry for #thebookstagrammy competition ('just books' category) at @bookstagramhay.

Not a big fun of the Burt Lancaster’s back, yet this one is for the sake of The Swimmer.

The stories of JOHN Cheever is the only book that has ever made its way back to the spazhouse library. I am not sure of what that means. Someone did not like it or liked it enough to share it. #bookstagram #littlefreelibrary #librarytales #johncheever #spazhouse #bookshelf #likesforlikesback #followforfollowback #riversideavondale #read #bookworm #bookishlife #librariesofinstagram #librarylife (at Spaz House) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo3FdAnxzs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1uakh6m2i23
