Henry Bech, the celebrated author of Travel Light, has been
scrutinized, canonized and vilified by critics and readers across
the world. Here, the experiences of this bemused literary icon, one
of Updike's greatest creations, are described in hilarious detail,
as he travels the world struggling to break his writer's block;
returns to his native America to find new success with Think Big,
his all-time blockbuster; and visits communist Czechoslovakia,
where he is greeted by a dizzyingly adoring public. Brilliantly
comic and deeply poignant, The Complete Henry Bech is one of the
greatest of all explorations of the writing life and of what
happens when an writer becomes a literary celebrity.
