Kirkus Reviews called Cheever's prose "an amazingly flexible instrument" and summarized the novel as "a strong fix—a statement of the human condition, a parable of salvation."[4] Reviewing the book in 1977 for The New York Times, Joan Didion wrote, "On its surface Falconer seems at first to be a conventional novel of crime and punishment and redemption—a story about a man who kills his brother, goes to prison for it and escapes, changed for the better—and yet the 'crime' in this novel bears no more relation to the 'punishment' than the punishment bears to the redemption. The surface here glitters and deceives. Causes and effects run deeper."[5]

First Class passengers receive their own Polar Express ceramic souvenir cocoa mug, hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and a cookie. Children receive a bell from Santa.

Falconer is a 1977 novel by American writer John Cheever.[2][3] It tells the story of Ezekiel Farragut, a university professor and drug addict who is serving time in Falconer State Prison for the murder of his brother. Farragut struggles to retain his humanity in the prison environment, and begins an affair with a fellow prisoner.

In the episode "The Cheever Letters" of Seinfeld, it transpires that the father of Susan Ross had a passionate love affair with John Cheever, to the embarrassment of his wife and daughter. At the end of the episode, George is shown reading Falconer.

In 2009, Audible produced an audio version of Falconer, narrated by Jay Snyder, as part of its Modern Vanguard line of audiobooks.
