Reviews
"Brilliant and poignant . . . By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright prose, [John Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own."- The Washington Post "The power of the novel comes from a sense, not absolutely unworthy of Thomas Hardy, that the universe hangs over our fates like a great sullen hopeless sky. There is real pain in the book, and a touch of awe."-Norman Mailer, Esquire "A lacerating story of loss and of seeking, written in prose that is charged with emotion but is always held under impeccable control."- Kansas City Star, "Brilliant and poignant . . .

Synopsis
"A lacerating story of loss and of seeking, written in prose that is charged with emotion but is always held under impeccable control."-- Kansas City Star Rabbit, Run is the book that established John Updike as one of the major American novelists of his--or any other--generation. Its hero is Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. He is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty--even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path, an invisible line toward his own salvation as straight as a ruler's edge., Rabbit, Run is the book that established John Updike as one of the major American novelists of his--or any other--generation.

    Book was as described (condition - very good) and received in a timely manner. Happy with the price/deal! Seller provided good communications and tracking number. Packaging could have been better; 3 hardback books shipped in plastic bag mailer that arrived with a good-sized tear in it. Thankfully none of the books were damaged or lost. Will certainly consider future purchases from this seller!
