Rabbit at Rest by John Updike
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Howells Medal, and the National Book Critics Circle AwardIn John Updike's fourth and final novel about Harry Rabbit Angstrom, the hero has acquired a Florida condo, a second grandchild, and a troubled, overworked heart. His son, Nelson, is behaving erratically; his daughter-in-law, Pru, is sending him mixed signals; and his wife, Janice, decides in midlife to return to the world of work. As, through the year of 1989, Reagan's debt-ridden, AIDS-plagued America yields to that of the first George Bush, Rabbit explores the bleak terrain of late middle age, looking for reasons to live and opportunities to make peace with a remorselessly accumulating past.
JOHN UPDIKE was the author of more than sixty books, eight of them collections of poetry. His novels, including The Centaur, Rabbit Is Rich, and Rabbit at Rest, won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the William Dean Howells Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died in January 2009. CHRISTOPHER CARDUFF is a member of the staff of The Library of America and the editor of John Updike's posthumous volumes Higher Gossip, Always Looking, and The Collected Stories. He lives in Melrose, Massachusetts. BRAD LEITHAUSER is the author of sixteen books, the most recent of which is The Oldest Word for Dawn: New and Selected Poems. The recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and Iceland's Order of the Falcon, he is a professor in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and divides his time between Baltimore, Maryland, and Amherst, Massachusetts.
