One thinks of Flaubert and his doomed fantasist Emma Bovary, for John Updike with his precisian's prose and his intimately attentive yet cold eye is a master, like Flaubert, of mesmerizing us with his narrative voice even as he might repel us with the vanities of human desire his scalpel exposes....the Rabbit quartet constitutes a powerful critique of America." "...RABBIT...is a single very long novel written in a traditional and even somewhat old-fashioned form, well known to us from the nineteenth century. It is what can reasonably be called a 'total' work of art....RABBIT is most of all, in its accumulation of detail, a straightforward work of psychological observation, pebble piled on pebble, a masterpiece, in the end, of cool, stony record-taking." "Reading John Updike creates in me that surge of confidence in the literary imagination of my time that the Victorians felt--with far less justice--when they read Dickens. The recent appearance in a single volume of his four novels about the irresistibly appalling Harry Angstrom offers the perfect opportunity to taste the late 20th-century flavour as distilled by a master." Publisher's noteFour works in one volume AnnotationJohn Updike's four great, classic Rabbit novels: RABBIT, RUN; RABBIT REDUX; RABBIT IS RICH; and RABBIT AT REST.
