Abstract:
Cílem této bakalářské práce je analýza čtyř vybraných povídek Johna Cheevera, především pak způsobu, jakým přistupuje ke svým postavám a ztvárňuje jejich život na předměstí. Ve svých povídkách Cheever zaujímá moralizující a zároveň obhajující postoj, jenž je, společně s jeho častou sebereflexí, v této práci označován jako "laskavá kritika".Abstract:
