John Cheever, from "What Happened?"
Posted on January 23, 2007
John Cheever, "What Happened": "I know almost no pleasure greater than having a piece of fiction draw together incidents as disparate as a dance in Minneapolis and a backgammon game in the mountains so that they relate to one another and confirm that feeling that life itself is creative process, that one thing is put purposefully upon another, that what is lost in one encounter is resplendent in the next, and that we possess some power to make sense of what takes place."
