Editorial Reviews

Review

Once again, Jim Plath delivers a deeply engaging and important collection of Updike interviews. Stitching together 44 profiles and interviews conducted by a range of figures–Terry Gross, local journalists from the Reading Eagle, a high school student–Plath, who adds his own introductory and concluding observations, proves a knowledgeable and emotionally invested guide. John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews will appeal not only to general readers, academics, and students, but to those interested in listening to a writer who could string together sentences as beautifully as any figure from American literature. In taking its author back to the state he left in 1950, John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews is a homecoming story that casts a spell and radiates with Updike’s life-long affection for Pennsylvania. Plath has been a major player in Updike studies, and his latest effort should be required reading for those wishing to know more about the wunderkind from Shillington. (James Schiff, University of Cincinnati)

James Plath has given Updike enthusiasts an indispensable record of Updike’s remarks to Pennsylvania interviewers. They reveal not just Updike’s renowned fluency but his inimitable charm and suave wit, making John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews a sheer delight as well as a richly informative volume. Plath’s commentary provides a fine guide to his exploration by offering thematic links within the interviews. He proves that Updike was more open and revealing to Pennsylvania interviewers than those beyond his native state. (Jack DeBellis, Lehigh University)

John Updike claimed his ‘artistic eggs were hatched’ in Pennsylvania, which makes John Updike's Pennsylvania Interviews, James Plath’s collection of his Pennsylvania interviews, essential reading for understanding Updike. The state occupied a vital place for Updike across his star-studded career. Plath reveals this connection with interviews that span four decades, both adding to the scholarly record and providing readers with new insight into Updike’s enduring significance. (Bob Batchelor, University of Miami)
