John Cheever nació el 27 de mayo de 1912 en Quincy, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos. Su primer libro de cuentos, The way some people live, fue publicado en 1943 y tuvo críticas y comentarios diversos. En 1969, año en que se publicó Bullet Park, recibió una crítica despiadada por parte de Benjamin De Mott, en la tapa del The New York Times Book Review. Después de eso, Cheever recayó en el alcoholismo y la depresión. En 1979, su colección Cuentos de John Cheever ganó un Premio Pulitzer para ficción, y el premio del Círculo nacional de críticos de libros. En 1987, la viuda de John Cheever, Mary, decidió firmar contrato con una pequeña editorial estadounidense, Academy Chicago, para publicar trece cuentos que permanecían inéditos, y que el propio Cheever había titulado Fall River and other uncollected stories. Cheever murió en Ossining, Nueva York, el 18 de junio de 1982.
