Bullet Park by John Cheever

3.0

Welcome to Bullet Park, the paradise of the American middle class. In this exemplary environment, we will witness the fateful meeting between two men: on the one hand, Eliot Nailles, a citizen that integrated into their community, which, despite its internal contradictions, wants his wife and his son to have a happy disposition. And on the other hand, a new neighbour, Paul Hammer, a nowhere man who, after half a lifetime of wandering, decides to buy a house in Bullet Park. Coinciding with the stranger's arrival, Nailles will see how slowly crumbling their little world is. The tragedy unleashes when his son starts to have problems in school and will intensify to unsuspected limits.
