One of the world's greatest writers, John Updike chronicled America
for more than five decades. This book examines the essence of
Updike's writing, propelling our understanding of his award-winning
fiction, prose, and poetry. Widely considered "America's Man of
Letters," John Updike is a prolific novelist and critic with an
unprecedented range of work across more than 50 years. No author
has ever written from the variety of vantages or spanned topics
like Updike did. Despite being widely recognized as one of the
nation's literary greats, scholars have largely ignored Updike's
vast catalog of work outside the Rabbit tetralogy. This work
provides the first detailed examination of Updike's body of
criticism, poetry, and journalism, and shows how that work played a
central role in transforming his novels. The book disputes the
common misperception of Updike as merely a chronicler of suburban,
middle-class America by focusing on his novels and stories that
explore the wider world, from the groundbreaking The Coup (1978) to
Terrorist (2006). Popular culture scholar Bob Batchelor asks
readers to reassess Updike's career by tracing his transformation
over half a century of writing.
