Welcome. Grab a chair. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

For this first meeting, we'll be reading John Cheever's short story "The Swimmer." (I've posted the first link I found, but the story is not difficult to track down and may be presented more handsomely elsewhere.) And should you want to read it on paper, Cheever's short story collection was very popular when published and should not be hard to track down.

I guess the best way to start is to go around the room and get everyone's first impression of the story. What did you think of the piece? Does it deserve its status as a modern classic? Discuss.
