Welcome to Bullet Park, a township in which even the most
buttoned-down gentry sometimes manage to terrify
themselves simply by looking in the mirror. In these
exemplary environs John Cheever traces the fateful
intersection of two men: Eliot Nailles, a nice fellow who
loves his wife and son to blissful distraction, and Paul
Hammer, a bastard named after a common household tool, who,
after half a lifetime of drifting, settles down in Bullet
Park with one objective -- to murder Nailles's son. Here
is the lyrical and mordantly funny hymn to the American
suburb -- and to all the dubious normalcy it represents --
delivered with unparalleled artistry and assurance.
