Description

Welcome to Bullet Park, a universe where even its most impeccable inhabitants can feel terrified by the simple act of looking in the mirror. In this suffocating environment, John Cheever narrates the haphazard intersection of the lives of two men: Eliot Nailles, a good man who loves his wife and son with devotion, and Paul Hammer, the bastard son who, after years of wandering, settles in Bullet Park with one goal: to murder Nailles' son. Here is a biting and poignant novel about the American suburbs, with their identical facades, their desperate normality and, beneath an impeccable surface, the hell that beats.
