We had our book discussion and heartily discussed the stories we read. We discussed:
"The Enormous Radio", "The Swimmer", "Goodbye, My Brother" "The Death of Justina" and many more. When the stories ended, we all kept thinking how the story would continue on. Some of our group was able to read several stories although not the whole book. We had plenty to talk about though. There were two stories that one of our readers said was funny: "The Day the Pig Fell into the Well" and "Artemis, the Honest Well Digger". We all admitted that we would need to read these stories and more that we discussed in the book discussion.
I will post more about our discussion in the next couple of days.
Our next book discussion will be on June 9, "The Plague of Doves" by Louise Erdrich.

Cheever's comedy is very subtle!! Did anyone think that "The Death of Justina" was also meant to be funny?
