Reviews"Unquestionably Updike's finest novel . . . Funny and sharp and damnably intelligent."- The Boston Globe "Dazzlingly reaffirms Updike's place as master chronicler of the spiritual maladies and very earthly pleasures of the Middle-American male."- Vogue "Rich, funny . . . Updike at the very height of his powers."- New York magazine, "Unquestionably Updike's finest novel . . . Funny and sharp and damnably intelligent."- The Boston Globe "Dazzlingly reaffirms Updike's place as master chronicler of the spiritual maladies and very earthly pleasures of the Middle-American male."- Vogue "Rich, funny . . .

Updike at the very height of his powers."-- New York magazine, "The reviewers seemed to be under the impression that the hero was a terrible character. It's incredible! No, I think it's the most interesting American novel I've read in quite a long time" -- Mary McCarthy, interviewed in The Paris Review "The power of the novel comes from a sense, not absolutely unworthy of Thomas Hardy, that the universe hangs over our fates like a great sullen hopeless sky. There is real pain in the book, and a touch of awe" -- Norman Mailer, Esquire "...An American protest against all the attempts to impress upon us the 'healthy, life-loving and comic' as our standard for novels. It is sexy, in bad taste, violent, and basically cynical. And good luck to it." -- Angus Wilson, naming three Books of the Year in the Observer And Rabbit Redux "Against all odds, Rabbit Redux is a sequel that succeeds; it is in every respect uncannily superior to its distinguished predecessor and deserves to achieve even greater critical and popular acclaim." -- Brendan Gill, The New Yorker "I can think of no stronger vindication of the claims of essentially realistic fiction than this extraordinary synthesis of the disparate elements of contemporary experience. Rabbit Redux is a great achievement, by far the most audacious and successful book Updike has written." -- Richard Locke, The New York Times Book Review From the Hardcover edition.

SynopsisPULITZER PRIZE WINNER * The middle-aged hero of Rabbit, Run, returns--from one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century. The hero of John Updike's Rabbit, Run , ten years after the hectic events described in Rabbit Redux , has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as Chief Sales Representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979: Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, the President collapses while running in a marathon, and double-digit inflation coincides with a deflation of national confidence. Nevertheless, Harry Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at last--until his son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to his lot. New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbit's middle age, as he continues to pursue, in his erratic fashion, the rainbow of happiness., PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - The middle-aged hero of Rabbit, Run, returns--from one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century.
