Falconer

Ezekiel Farragut, convicted of killing his brother, has been imprisoned in the state prison called Falconer. He is visited by his wife Marcia, with whom he has a love-hate relationship; she has the occasional lesbian affair, which makes him angry. Farragut, however, is more-than-occasionally gay. His lover, Jody, escapes and rioting at another prison affects the inmates of Falconer. This novel was based on Cheever's experiences teaching at Sing Sing.
