| - The Wapshot Chronicle is the debut novel by American author John Cheever about an eccentric family that lives in a Massachusetts fishing village. Published in 1957, it won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1958,and was followed by a sequel, The Wapshot Scandal, published in 1964. The Wapshot Chronicle is the sometimes-humorous story of Leander Wapshot, his eccentric Cousin Honora, and his sons, Moses and Coverly, as they all deal with life. The story is somewhat autobiographical, particularly regarding the character of Coverly, who, like Cheever, experiences feelings of bisexuality. The novel was Cheever's first, though he had previously written short stories. It was also the first novel selected for the Book of the Month Club to include the word fuck in the narrative. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Wapshot Chronicle 63rd on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. (en)
- Cronache della famiglia Wapshot (The Wapshot Chronicle) è il romanzo d'esordio di John Cheever, avente come protagonisti i membri di una eccentrica famiglia di un piccolo villaggio di pescatori del Massachusetts. Pubblicato nel 1957, ha vinto il premio U.S. National Book Award for Fiction nel 1958. Cheever ha quindi scritto un seguito per questo romanzo, Lo scandalo Wapshot pubblicato nel 1964. Cronache della famiglia Wapshot è la storia dai toni a volte unmoristici di Leander Wapshot, della sua eccentrica Zia Honora (cugina Honora nella traduzione italiana edita da Feltrinelli) e dei suoi figli, Moses e Coverly, e del loro modo di affrontare la vita. La storia ha dei tratti autobiografici, in particolare nel personaggio di Coverly, che è tormentato, come Cheever, da dubbi di bisessualità. Il romanzo rappresenta l'esordio di Cheever, sebbene avesse precedentemente scritto alcuni brevi racconti. È anche stato il primo romanzo ad essere selezionato per la collana Book of the Month Club ad includere la parola "fuck" in un'opera narrativa. Nel 1998, la casa editrice Modern Library ha classificatoCronache della famiglia Wapshot al sessantatreesimo posto nella classifica dei 100 migliori libri in lingua inglese del ventesimo secolo. (it)
