One of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth centuryand the author of the acclaimed Rabbit seriesdelivers the intimate, generous, insightful, and beautifully written collection he was compiling when he died.This collection of miscellaneous prose opens with a selfportrait of the writer in winter, a Prospero who, though he fears his most dazzling performances are behind him, reveals himself in every sentence to be in deep conversation with the sources of his magic. It concludes with a moving meditation on a modern world robbed of imaginationa world without religion, without artand on the difficulties of faith in a disbelieving age.In between are previously uncollected stories and poems, a pageant of scenes from seventeenthcentury Massachusetts, five late golf dreams, and several of Updike's commentaries on his own work. At the heart of the book are his matchless reviewsof John Cheever, Ann Patchett, Toni Morrison, William Maxwell, John le Carr, and essays on Aimee Semple McPherson, Max Factor, and Albert Einstein, among others. Also included are two decades of art criticismon Chardin, El Greco, Blake, Turner, Van Gogh, Max Ernest, and more.Updikes criticism is gossip of the highest order, delivered in an intimate and generous voice.
