Matt Weinstock, Nov. 25, 1960

Nov. 25, 1960: Matt Weinstock checks in with John Cheever, who’s in Hollywood doing a treatment of D.H. Lawrence’s “The Lost Girl.” “If the short story, of which I am an enthusiastic addict, has any future, Cheever is one of those in whose hands it will rest,” Weinstock says. CONFIDENTIAL TO HANK: Love cannot be preserved in alcohol. Get wise.
