What is Falconer about?

### Review "Cheever's triumph.... A great American novel." —_Newsweek_ "One of the most important novels of our time.... Read it and be ennobled." —_The New York Times_ "Falconer is splendid. It is rough, it is elegant, it is pure. It is also indispensable, if you earnestly desire to know what is happening to the human soul in the U.S.A." —Saul Bellow "One of our truly fine writers.... The novel proceeds directly on its course, taking the reader along with it.... Moving and excellent." —_The Washington Post_ ### Product Description Stunning and brutally powerful, **Falconer** tells the story of a man named Farragut, his crime and punishment, and his struggle to remain a man in a universe bent on beating him back into childhood. Only John Cheever could deliver these grand themes with the irony, unforced eloquence, and exhilarating humor that make **Falconer** such a triumphant work of the moral imagination. Fiction
