The Wapshot Chronicle
by
main characters
The Wapshot family, 3 generations
Rip's impressions
Classic Cheever from the New Yorker––smart, funny, and touching.
first line
St. Botolphs was an old place, an old river town.
last lines
(spoiler alert)
I will never come back, and if I do there will be nothing left, there will be nothing left but the headstones to record what has happened; there will really be nothing at all.
literary tidbits
There was a sequel written to this modern classic, The Wapshot Scandal. As most sequels, it does not measure up to the greatness of the first.
