Wikipedia, March 16, 2018 (John Cheever; John William Cheever (May 27, 1912-June 18, 1982) was an American novelist and short story writer; born Quincy, Massachusetts; died Ossining, New York)
New York times online archive, 28 Oct. 2021: in an obituary published June 19, 1982 on page 1 (John Cheever, born May 27, 1912 in Quincy, Mass., died yesterday [June 18] in Ossining, N.Y., aged 70; his poised, elegant prose established him as one of America's finest storytellers; focusing on his decorous style and his characters' privileged lives, critics tended at first to regard Mr. Cheever as an urbane, graceful ''New Yorker writer'' - perhaps the quintessential New Yorker writer, but a social realist somewhat like John O'Hara, nonetheless)
