Is this the woman he loved / hated that so much talk in the book? No idea.
There are simple things in life. Or in the world who will be the same. Life, the world. The universe, Is it simple or complicated? Well, I do not know. I'm not drunk. On Sunday morning I do not usually drunk, or at least not usually drink. Going to say, there are simple things, like fixing a washing machine. There are simple things, like sitting in a chair in the kitchen and on the tablecloth to write a bill (72 euros) by changing a piston to the washer. A piston or whatever. In the afternoon, before yesterday, I waited for Mr technician to come fix the washer. No machine live in chaos. Half day or day and a half, I do not know, without washing, and the house collapses. We itch all over just knowing that the machine does not work (I will not be able to change my underwear and that troubles me), the mountains of clothes do not let us pass, we spit salads fluids and grease spots appear on the shirt criminals. Without washing. While I hope I'm reading the savior, this afternoon, the Daily of Cheever. I never thought I could read it over three days. Wear a couple of weeks.
You know, alcoholism, homosexuality is not accepted (either by him or his age, years 40, 50, 60 ...), curses left and right. Also, a marriage depressing, destructive. His Mary is a little witch a fairy tale wonder that torture will not be able to have sex with the witch. But that's life. In fairy tales the witch's just crushing a truck carrying chickens or pigs, at least in current versions. But in life one would say that there are no trucks carrying pigs. Or run over witches. In life you can be a practicing Catholic, a respectable family man and even a respected writer. A man who can change his underwear every day. A man giving a conference with the pristine underpants, while listeners silent fart briefs listeners on their conference. Simple or complicated life, but life. But one in your diary is bound to be a pig. We are left alone with ourselves and only see the pig. Our pork sensitive, nostalgic, lucid. Freud and his pig detected and made it a philosophy and a business for several generations of fraudsters. If life outside are clean underwear, for insisting on the theme of the machine, life inside the secret life, it's used underwear. It is, moreover, an obligation for the literary genius, teach your palomino.
Cheever believed in his posterity. He saw his posterity in life. It was quite clear. But I do not know to what extent it was a character in itself. One of those people unfortunate but laughable if not ridiculous. Cheever's diaries are excellent, and read, I think, for the pleasure of savoring the prose. Also pleased to gloat over their cynicism, which is what moves the irony sometimes when rubbed against corrosive unhappiness. Is a script to be read, not only to be written. That roll treatment. What I do see Job is in the hands of a prankster God, a horny. And in the hands of someone like that, how to take yourself seriously?
in the best journals is basic, the main character finds himself outside. This is another one when not writing. Or does it. Canto
aloud to the old bitch, "I started a lemon in the garden of love, which only grow peaches." [Cheever. Daily, p.. 450. Emecé]
