The Subtly Southern Reader
 
Picture
DAY SEVEN of ELEVN DAYS OF CHEEVER.
TWO PARTS: part one on top, part two on bottom.
Is there any hope of preserving our youth;
or do we just live it over and over; wishing for a different outcome
or at the very least basking in a glow of former acheivement?
This John Cheever story celebrates "OH, Youth and Beauty" while exposing our frailty regarding the aging process; another surprise ending is in store ...
See this and the former stories by Cheever below.
