VINTAGE CLASSICS : THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL : WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY DAVE EGGERS PB – JOHN CHEEVER-DAVE EGGERS

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY DAVE EGGERS Once upon a time the Wapshots of St. Botolphs were distinguished for their unshakeable good opinion of themselves. But the family members have drifted far from their New England village – and into the demented caprices of the mighty, the bad graces of the IRS and the humiliating abyss of adulterous passion. A novel of large and tender vision, The Wapshot Scandal is filled with pungent characters and outrageous twists of fate, and, above all, with Cheever s luminous compassion for all his hapless fellow prisoners of human nature.
