Prompt
Generate an image of a middle-aged American writer from the 20th century, sitting at a desk with a pen in hand, surrounded by papers and books. He has a thoughtful expression on his face, with a hint of introspection. He is dressed in attire typical of the 1960s and 1970s. In the background, there are subtle hints of his notable works, such as "The Swimmer" and "The Wapshot Chronicle". The overall style should be realistic, with a muted color palette that evokes a sense of nostalgia and literary contemplation. The subject's facial features should be based on publicly available images of John Cheever.
