First edition of this novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author to journalist David Hepworth, "for David Hepworth All best, John Updike." Fine in a fine dust jacket.
The story of S. concerns Sarah Worth, a latter-day Hester-Prynne who has become enamored with a Hindu religious leader, Arhat. A New Englander, she goes west to join his commune in Arizona, and there mingles with other sannyasins (pilgrims) in the difficult attempt to subdue ego and acheive moksha (salvation, release from illusion).
