John Cheever was really hot when he was young

He had an affair with Mr. Henry Ross who was married to a woman.

When I see a picture like that, with the lips slightly apart, I try to imagine a cock in his mouth

Does Susan know?

Is that pic supposed to be hot, OP?

I do like his books though especially the short stories and his letters.

That's considered "hot"?!

I love you, R3.

His wife said she could tell when Cheever was talking to a trick on the phone because he would rub his asshole through his pants.

One of the best SEINFELD episodes was the one featuring Cheever references!

"The Cheever Letters." After Kramer accidentally burned down Susan's father's cabin, Susan finds a box of letters addressed to her father from Cheever. She reads them and finds out that her father and John Cheever had engaged in an affair years prior."

Is any of it mildly erotic, R4?

John irving was hot too.

There may have been a mild homoerotic undercurrent in a couple of them, but I can’t remember exactly R9

He also wrote 'Falconer', where 2 men in prison fall in love, which is as gay as he got in writing.

Is Falconer pronounced like Faulkner? I enjoyed the book but never knew how to say it.

The Swimmer

[Quote] kept cheating on his wife with men (notably the composer Ned Rorem).

I met Rorem a couple of times, must've been in his late 70s. He was still astonishingly beautiful.

Is "The Swimmer" worth watching? R13 Sounds like a bizarre story

R14 You could have provided some evidence

So sorry. You're a doll yourself r15. Kiss kiss.

Oh yes it's worth it, an odd different film. I liked The Swimmer film but haven't read the story.

Of course-- Joan Rivers is in it!

One of my fav authors. Recent bio of him just great. Talented, tortured, damaged, and insightful. My cup of tea.

Looks-wise he was an underachiever.
