Reviews"Brilliant and poignant . . . By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright prose, [John Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own."-- The Washington Post "The power of the novel comes from a sense, not absolutely unworthy of Thomas Hardy, that the universe hangs over our fates like a great sullen hopeless sky. There is real pain in the book, and a touch of awe."--Norman Mailer, Esquire "A lacerating story of loss and of seeking, written in prose that is charged with emotion but is always held under impeccable control."-- Kansas City Star

Brilliant book
Updike's emotional territory is familiar to me. Most of us were either jocks or guys who tried to be jocks for those high school years. This story is about a guy who couldn't make the adjustment to adulthood. He is not sympathetic or even very likeable. Somehow it all works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
