Reviews for John Updike: The Critical Responses to the Rabbit Saga
This volume will foment particularly well the necessary conversation among readers and critics about Rabbit and what his complicated fictive life of 40 years reveals about the US. Updike and Rabbit are indispensable to studies of American literature, particularly with the deaths of Arthur Miller and Saul Bellow. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.
