John Cheever’s “The Country Husband” is one of the more memorable of Cheever’s short stories and won a 1956 O. Henry Award. First published in 1954 and later in Cheever’s 1958 collection The Housebreaker of Shady Hill, the story deals with the ideal of country life and the need to fit into preordained societal norms. The central character, Francis Weed, works in New York City and lives in the quiet suburban town of Shady Hill.
