**From "a master American storyteller" (TIME), Bullet Park traces
the fateful intersection of two men: Eliot Nailles, a nice fellow who
loves his wife and son to blissful distraction, and the man who, after
half a lifetime of drifting, settles down in Bullet Park with one
objective--to murder Nailles's son.

Welcome to Bullet Park, a township in which even the most buttoned-down
gentry sometimes manage to terrify themselves simply by looking in the
mirror. In these exemplary environs Pulitzer Prize winner John Cheever
delivers a lyrical and mordantly funny hymn to the American suburb--and
to all the dubious normalcy it represents--written with unparalleled
artistry and assurance.
"A magnificent work of fiction.... A novel to pore over, move around in,
live with." --The New York Times
