About this product

Product Information

In this brilliant late-career collection, John Updike revisits many of the locales of his early fiction: the small-town Pennsylvania of Olinger Stories , the sandstone farmhouse of Of the Farm , the exurban New England of Couples and Marry Me , and Henry Bech's Manhattan of artistic ambition and taunting glamour. To a dozen short stories spanning the American Century, the author has added a novella-length coda to his quartet of novels about Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. Several strands of the Rabbit saga come together here as, during the fall and winter holidays of 1999, Harry's survivors fitfully entertain his memory while pursuing their own happiness up to the edge of a new millennium. Love makes Updike's fictional world go round--married love, filial love, feathery licks of erotic love, and love for the domestic particulars of Middle American life.

Reviews
"A PROVOCATIVE READ . . . Bringing the Rabbit novels' setting and actors credibly into the twenty-first century seems a warm gift from the author. That he renders their arrival with optimism makes the gift more dear." The Cleveland Plain Dealer "As in his last Rabbit novel, Mr. Updike writes with fluent access to Harry Angstrom's world, chronicling the developments in his hero's small Pennsylvania hometown with the casual ease of a longtime intimate. With compassion and bemused affection, he traces the many large and small ways in which Harry's actions continue to reverberate through the lives of his widow, Janice, and their son, Nelson, and the equally myriad ways in which their decisions are influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by their memories of him." The New York Times "['Rabbit Remembered' is a] comic tour-de-force. . . . 'My Father on the Verge of Disgrace' exhibit[s] the author's matchless gift for dissection of character or evocation of setting. His is a graceful realism that, despite the Updike detractors, uses metaphor not for show but elucidation." New York Newsday From the Trade Paperback edition., "A touching, elegiac collection of stories about infidelity, about the weight of family, about the dwindling of years . . . [Updike] works so slowly and carefully that you rarely see the emotional punches coming."- Newsweek "With compassion and bemused affection, [Updike] traces the many large and small ways in which Harry's actions continue to reverberate through the lives of his widow, Janice, and their son, Nelson. . . . ['Rabbit Remembered'] not only reconnoiters old ground but in doing so also manages to transform it into something stirring and new."-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times " 'Rabbit Remembered' is a thing of rich satisfaction. . . . Throughout the collection are passages of stylistic certainty and bittersweet intimacy."- The Boston Sunday Globe, "A touching, elegiac collection of stories about infidelity, about the weight of family, about the dwindling of years . . . [Updike] works so slowly and carefully that you rarely see the emotional punches coming."-- Newsweek "With compassion and bemused affection, [Updike] traces the many large and small ways in which Harry's actions continue to reverberate through the lives of his widow, Janice, and their son, Nelson. . . . ['Rabbit Remembered'] not only reconnoiters old ground but in doing so also manages to transform it into something stirring and new."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times " 'Rabbit Remembered' is a thing of rich satisfaction. . . .
