smcleish 's review for:
The Wapshot Chronicle
by John Cheever, Rick Moody
Originally published on my blog here in March 2000.
It took me a long time to get into The Wapshot Chronicle, the supposedly hilarious story of the old family of the Wapshots in their New England small town. Most of it I found not interesting enough to be funny..
There are occasional amusing paragraphs, but it is not until near the end when I realised that the section about Moses Wapshot's married life was a parody of Henry James that I began to enjoy it more.
