A review by alisonjfields
Falconer by John Cheever

4.0

A rough, beautifully written tale of confinement and/or the WASPiest prison novel of all time. I'm not always objective in my love of John Cheever, but if you're the type to bristle at his well-heeled, ennui-ed New Englanders in other works, you might derive considerable pleasure from watching one of them try to survive after being imprisoned for murder.
