First edition of the author’s second novel and the first in his acclaimed Rabbit tetrology. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by John Updike on the title page. Fine in a bright unfaded dust jacket with light wear. A very nice example as the spine usually shows faded.
"Updikes choice of Rabbit Angstrom, in Rabbit, Run, was inspired, one of those happy, instinctive accidents that so often shape a literary career" (Books of the Century, 450). "Taken together, this quartet of novels has given its readers a wonderfully vivid portrait of one Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom . . . The books have also created a Kodachrome-sharp picture of American life . . . from the somnolent 50s . . . into the uncertainties of the 80s" (The New York Times).
