The Cage Susan Cheever s third novel
is about marriage, the destructive power
of jealousy, and the sense of a lost past
which haunts contemporary life. The
localcs are New Yurk City, where wil-
liam Bristol is a magazine writer, the
nearby suburb where he lives with his
wife, Italia, and the estate in New
Hampshire that the couple have inher-
ited from Julia s wealthy father.
Alone together during the summer in
New Hampshire, the two of them, m
their late lorries, are finally forced to
confront the breakdown of their once
sharcd hopes. Julia resents her husband s
work and her own increasing isolation
m the suburbs. Bristol self-righteously
busies himself with repairs on the cages
Julia s flamboyant tathcr built for his
private menagerie. It is in the elaborate,
abandoned elephant cage that Bristol
finds himself trapped as the nuvel moves
reward its startling climax.
Deftly mixing narrative tension with
symbolic undercurrents, Susan Cheever
has written a resonant new novel of con-
temporary love and disillusionment.
Her poignant and piercing language, her
sure feel for the .personal straggles of
modern life, delnonstrate the maturing
power of her literary talent.
