About this product

Product Information

John Updike's twentieth novel, like his first, The Poorhouse Fair (1959), takes place in one day, a day that contains much conversation and some rain. The seventy-eight-year-old painter Hope Chafetz, who in the course of her eventful life has been Hope Ouderkirk, Hope McCoy, and Hope Holloway, answers questions put to her by a New York interviewer named Kathryn, and recapitulates, through the story of her own career, the triumphant, poignant saga of postwar American art. In the evolving relation between the two women, the interviewer and interviewee move in and out of the roles of daughter and mother, therapist and patient, predator and prey, supplicant and idol. The scene is central Vermont; the time is the early spring of 2001.

    Iam sorry to find that John has passed away I would have liked to know more. His book seems to have every word carefully constructed into sentences. Iam not an intelligent man. and I cant understand alot of what he has said. But thru constant study and memorizing key points I can at least get my foot in the door of an intelligent life. That to me is what art is about, finding an intelligent life form. That parallels "art lives". A lot of his information is confirmed by life in general and things that take place outside the envelope. Like a wave ,it tools the unconscious mind into a understanding that was not there before.
