Review

"Carefully written and literary in the sense that it is a story which has been told and retold a dozen times....It is that kind of work in which the ingredients (including three ounces of earthly dialogue and a heaping big spoonful of compassion) are consciously added as though preparing a small stew, and the canisters from which they are drawn are the past works of a hundred hands."

"['Rabbit, Run'] is a minor epic of the spirit thirsting for room to discover and be itself, ducking, dodging, staying out of reach of everything that will pin it down and impale it on fixed, immutable laws that are not of its own making and do not consider its integrity."

"From now on Updike has to be regarded as one of our important young novelists, a powerful writer with his own vision of the world."

"A notable triumph of intelligence and compassion; it has none of the glib condescension that spoils so many books of this type."

Publisher's note

Tired of the responsibility of married life, Harry Angstrom leaves his wife and home.

Annotation

John Updike's highly acclaimed saga of desire and regret, first published in 1959, introduces Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a typical Middle American--small-town Protestant, former basketball star, married man intent on making a name for himself in the community--whose life begins to unravel when he falls in love and deserts his wife. Caught between his sense of duty and his intimations of life's real depth, he is unable to commit himself to one or the other.
