Updike, John : Rabbit, Run

The Easton Press, Norfolk, Connecticut, 1993

Book stored in temperature-controlled environment - no smelly damp stains or the smell of a previous smoker. A beautiful book in gift-giving condition. This is the tale of an ordinary, unexceptional, lower-middle-class Pennsylvania family man, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a disillusioned former high school basketball star torn between virtue and vanity, rebellion and conformity, who attempts to escape his sterile, shabby life. Rabbit Angstrom is neither a traditional hero nor a romantic, rebellious anti-hero but a non-hero, and many resented how author Updike created both comedy and profound tragedy from such an ordinary and often unattractive figure. This tale became a scandal because of Updike's explicit, though hardly offensive, treatment of sex. The book was on the best seller list for months. Remarkable literature.
