The Wapshot Chronicle by John Cheever

FIRST EDITION [1964] HARPER & ROW

Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition.  Mild shelf wear to gorgeous dust jacket; unclipped panel with price in tact.

Meet the Wapshots of St Botolphs. There is Captain Leander Wapshot, venerable sea-dog and would-be suicide; his licentious older son, Moses; and Moses's adoring and errant younger brother, Coverly. Tragic and funny, ribald and splendidly picaresque, and partly based on Cheever's adolescence in New England, The Wapshot Chronicle is a stirring family narrative in the finest traditions of Trollope, Dickens, and Henry James
