Content and Summary Info
Bisexual Content: Two main characters (cisgender men) have/have had romantic and/or sexual relationships with people of more than one gender.
Publisher's Summary: Stunning and brutally powerful, Falconer tells the story of a man named Farragut, his crime and punishment, and his struggle to remain a man in a universe bent on beating him back into childhood. Only John Cheever could deliver these grand themes with the irony, unforced eloquence, and exhilarating humor that make Falconer such a triumphant work of the moral imagination.
