“A TOUCHING, ELEGIAC COLLECTION OF STORIES about
infidelity, about the weight of family, about the dwindling
of years, about the heart and other organs. . . . [Updike]
works so slowly and carefully that you rarely see the
emotional punches
coming.” –Newsweek
“THESE STORIES SHARE
A THEME OF RETROSPECT AND A BITTERSWEET TONE OF FORGIVENESS.
. . . Updike, who has found in Rabbit an indispensable, if
unlikely, vehicle for his truest insights into the
mysterious of manhood, the promise of American life and the
operations of divine grace, could no more pass up the
opportunity for a further Rabbit report than Rabbit himself
could forgo a bowl of macadamia nuts. . . . His observations
eddy and swirl into the main stream of his narrative,
swelling it with life.” –The New York Times Book
Review
“ ‘RABBIT REMEMBERED’ IS A THING OF
RICH SATISFACTION. . . . IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET . . .
Throughout the collection are passages of stylistic
certainty and bittersweet intimacy.” –The Boston
Sunday Globe
“OUTSTANDING WORK . . . We
always suspected that Updike would try to pull one more
Rabbit out of his hat. Now, some 10 years after the death of
everybody’s favorite Updike character, Updike has done just
that, and with great success. . . . ‘Rabbit Remembered’
ranks with his best work.” –The
Star-Ledger
“GLIMMERING . . . SEDUCTIVE . . .
JOHN UPDIKE HITS HIS STRIDE” –Entertainment
