john-updikeDick Cavett, who hosted the “The Dick Cavett Show” from 1968 to 1982, now blogs for The New York Times. And, this week, he took his readers back to 1981, to when he hosted John Updike (recently deceased) and John Cheever (d. 1982) on the same show. The Times offers a complete video of the show. Here you can watch two important American writers and friends in close conversation. And, as a quick aside, there’s a new biography of Cheever coming out. Get a review in the LA Times.
