Rabbit Redux by John Updike

Rabbit Redux by John Updike

The stunning sequel to Rabbit, Run that resumes the spiritual quest of the anxious Everyman, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom.

"[Updike is] an awesomely accomplished writer. . . . For God's sake, read the book. It may even--will probably--change your life."--Anatole Broyard, The New York Times

"Amid the upheaval of the Trump years, [Rabbit Redux is] the postwar novel that strikes me as most prophetic."--Ron Chernow for Time, "25 Books That Capture This American Moment"

Ten years have passed; the impulsive former athlete has become a paunchy thirty-six-year-old conservative, and Eisenhower's becalmed America has become 1969's lurid turmoil of technology, fantasy, drugs, and violence. Rabbit is abandoned by his family, his home invaded by a runaway and a radical, his past reduced to a ruined inner landscape; still he clings to semblances of decency and responsibility, and yearns to belong and to believe.

In 1954, John Updike graduated from Harvard College and spent a year at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, England. He was a member of The New Yorker's staff from 1955 until 1957. He has won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for his works. Updike earned the Rea Prize for Short Fiction in 2006, and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction for his Early Tales (1953-1975). In January 2009, he passed away.
