7:30 PM – Blake Bailey: Cheever: A Life
Elliott Bay Book Co.
I read once that biographers inevitably fall in love with their subjects, especially those long dead. Cheever hasn’t been dead all that long, but Bailey’s heartfelt biography leads me to believe that he might have fallen a tiny bit in love. Nothing wrong with that.
