Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. To truly appreciate the sensitive, playful intelligence that was John Updike, you need to read some of his essays and criticism. You learn far more about whatever Updike is reviewing than you would have imagined possible in just a few pages. His density of information and sharp eye for all details amazes. I think Updike was the best and most intellectually entertaining critics that this country has ever produced.

Since 1960 the novelist & poet began reviewing books for The New Yorker in 1960. His reviews appearing in the magazine during the1960s make up the bulk of this volume. When "Picked-Up Pieces", his last such round-up, was published, Joyce Carol Oates called it an irresistibly readable collection of reviews, critical & autobiographical essays & interviews & John Cheever spoke of Updike's extraordinary radiance. Even his fellow critics have been encouraging: George Steiner wrote of Updike's unforgiving yet strangely solicitous, almost tender intelligence; Richard Locke chimed that there was an immensely attractive, nonacademic attentiveness to his reviews ; & James Atlas complimented the article on Melville included here as the sort of ambitious scholarly reappraisal not seen in this country since the death of Edmund Wilson. Wilson, indeed, is one of the authors 'Hugging the Shore' treats w/ especial attentiveness & affection; others are Vladimir Nabokov, Franz Kafka, Muriel Spark, Anne Tyler, Italo Calvino, Henry Green, Robert Pinget, L.E. Sissman, R.K. Narayan, & Roland Barthes. Fond applause is also bestowed on movie actresses Louise Brooks & Doris Day & golfers Sam Snead & Arnold Palmer. As a literary critic Mr. Updike ranges through not only American & European fiction but also African & Oriental authors & studies in art, anthropology, & theology. The voyage ends in the snug harbor of the author's comments upon his own works & begins somewhere near deep water, w/ a flotilla of imaginary interviews, short fiction, humorous pieces, & essays. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Updike was born in 1932, in Shillington, Pennsylvania, & attended Harvard College & the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Arts in Oxford, England. In the mid-1950s he was a staff member of The New Yorker & in the years following appeared regularly on its pages as book critic & reviewer. He is the author of dozens of books, including 10 novels. His novel "Rabbit is Rich" won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the American Book Award for Fiction, & the National Book Critics Circle Award. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
