Product Description

 
The assumptions and obsessions that control our daily lives are explored in tantalizing detail by master novelist John Updike in this wise, witty, sexy story. Harry Angstrom--known to all as Rabbit, one of America's most famous literary characters--finds his dreary life shattered by the infidelity of his wife. How he resolves--or further complicates--his problems makes a compelling read.

Like All Sequels...........

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: While a sequel is never as good as the first, Updike's imagery makes this a must read. Read "Rabbit, Run" first, you'll need the background.
Review: Rabbit Redux is not nearly the classic, "Rabbit, Run" was. John Updike, one of America's premier authors, gave me a taste of true literature in the first novel. I expected more in the second, and was a bit disappointed.

Harry "Rabbit"...

Rabbit's a Reactionary Racist

Date of Review:  May 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: The bottom line's just another of the billion c#nts here for Updike's (I mean Rabbit's) satisfaction.
Review: I m a sucker for slightly autobiographical novels written in a series. Charles Bukowski, Philip Roth, and Henry Miller (I m sure I m missing someone) I read with a certain voyeuristic glee. I can t say what it is about the memoirs disguised as...

Rabbit in a World of Cultural Dissidence

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: An important book, and a definite read for anyone approaching Rabbit is Rich and Rabbit at Rest.
Review: At the center of John Updike's Rabbit books is singularly Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom. The novel revolves around him and does not condescend, pity, or cast a stern eye upon him for his various misconduct. Neither does it condone what he does. Rather,...
