SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In The World of Apples, John Cheever's characters - innocent, old-fashioned, self-aware - are summoned by strange and improbable events to ponder the values they have been taught to trust ... decency, common sense, nostalgia, even truth. Stunned by these encounters, they nevertheless survive.
