Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Unquestionably Updike's finest novel . . . Funny and sharp and damnably intelligent."--The Boston Globe

"Dazzlingly reaffirms Updike's place as master chronicler of the spiritual maladies and very earthly pleasures of the Middle-American male."--Vogue

"Rich, funny . . . Updike at the very height of his powers."--New York magazine

Reseña del editor:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award
 
The hero of John Updike’s Rabbit, Run, ten years after the events of Rabbit Redux, has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as the chief sales representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979: Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, and double-digit inflation coincides with a deflation of national self-confidence. Nevertheless, Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at last—until his wayward son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to the lot. New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbit’s middle age as he continues to pursue, in his zigzagging fashion, the rainbow of happiness.
