About this product

Product Information

S. is Sarah Worth -- doctor's wife, North Shore matron, loving mother, and now (suddenly!) ardent follower of a Hindu religious leader known as the Arhat. As this brilliant and very funny novel opens, Sarah is fleeing the confinement of her suburban life to become a sannyasin (pilgrim) at her guru's Arizona ashram. In the letters and audiocassettes that Sarah sends to her husband, daughter, mother, brother, best friend -- to her psychiatrist and her hairdresser and her dentist -- master novelist John Updike gives us a witty comedy of manners, a biting satire of life on a religious commune, and the story -- deep and true -- of an American woman in search of herself.

Reviews

"One of Updike's lightest, funniest, and slyest fictions-a comedy about the sneaky economies of the spirit." -The New Yorker "This comedy of Brahmin manners is . . . a mercilessly funny account of life in a religious commune. Some would say that Sarah's flight to self-discovery is strictly in the best Puritan tradition."- The Washington Post Book World "A spiritual adventure story . . . Updike fully inhabits his imperfect matron. Her voice, which can sweep from the heights of religious fluff to the swamps of bathos in astonishing feats of non sequitur, is a wonderful comic invention."- Newsweek From the Trade Paperback edition., "One of Updike's lightest, funniest, and slyest fictions-a comedy about the sneaky economies of the spirit." -The New Yorker "This comedy of Brahmin manners is . . . a mercilessly funny account of life in a religious commune.
