Vintage Updike,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Picked-Up Pieces (Hardcover)
It's a shame that these earlier essays by Updike have gone out of print. While the style is slightly more "academic" than what would see in his next collection, Hugging the Shore, which won the Pulitzer Prize, the readings are no less startling in their breathtaking insights and sympathetic readings of a wide range of authors and their works. Updike is so at ease with all aspects of the language and the culture that reading him is like a guided tour into the greatest pleasure and deepest instincts of the the literary terrain of the time. Highly recommended, and a vote to reprint these essays for our own time.
