About This Item
New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 1971. First edition. The sequel to "Rabbit, Run" (1960), set against the background of the Summer of Love - "Ten years have passed; the athletic escapist has become a paunchy conservative, and Eisenhower's becalmed America has become 1969's lurid confusion of technology, fantasy, and emergency. Rabbit is abandoned and mocked, his home is invaded, the world of his childhood decays into a mere sublunar void; still he clings to semblances of patriotism and paternity". Acclaimed on first publication - "A rare verbal genius, a gifted intelligence and a sense of tragedy made bearable by wit. A masterpiece" (Time Magazine), "Without doubt, the finest novel John Updike has written" (Julian Symons in the Sunday Times), and acclaimed now, "One of the most gifted American realists ... John Updike's surpassingly eloquent valentine to his country" (Joyce Carol Oates in 2015). Post 8vo (21cm). [viii],(407),[i]pp. Original red cloth, ruled and lettered in silver and gilt; top edge blue; an excellent copy, bright, clean, and sound in an unflawed dust-jacket.
