and Eisenhower's becalmed America has become 1969's lurid turmoil of technology
First edition of the author's second book in his acclaimed Rabbit series. Octavo, original cloth. Inscribed by the author to his neighbor, "For Jane Field John Updike". Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
In this sequel to Rabbit, Run, John Updike resumes the spiritual quest of his anxious Everyman, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. 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. "A masterpiece . . . Updike owns a rare verbal genius, a gifted intelligence and a sense of tragedy made bearable by wit" (Time).
