I gave up really, 44% of the way. Early on I was impressed with the stories, but almost half way through I tired of them. They seemed the same after a while - they moved slow, little happened. I lost enthusiasm for the content of the stories, though the writing, the descriptive detail was still impressive.

I first read Cheever in my teens and 20s and enjoyed the writing but didn't relate to the characters. Now that I'm a suburban dad in my late 40s, I (sadly, at times) relate more to Cheever's disaffected characters.
