John Updike’s passing is sad, but he left a ton of awesome work. “Immortality is nontransferrable” he said appropriately.

i pretty much grew up with the Rabbit books…

makes a difference in how they’re viewed, i believe, as opposed to reading them out of generation.

could just be me, however…

I’ve only read some of the early stories.

“Rabbit” angst. Has anyone on this blog read any of Udike’s “Rabbit “books and what did you think of them ?

Reading ‘Self-Consciousness’, instead of watching the kids, really changed my life as an 17-year-old babysitter.

Not to imply any harm fell to the kids, I just made some different life choices.
