John Updike A Life in Letters [#981307]

Name: John Updike A Life in Letters
Author: book24h

The arc of literary giant John Updike's life emerges in these luminous daily letters to family, friends, editors, and lovers - a remarkable outpouring over six decades, from his earliest consciousness as a writer to his final days
In the words of his contemporary, Philip Roth, John Updike was 'Our time's greatest man of letters - as brilliant a literary critic and essayist as he was a novelist and short-story writer'.
Over the course of his long and immensely productive career, he also proved himself a brilliant correspondent, his letters filled with comic observations, opinions and personal news, told in his characteristically elegant and exquisitely fluid style.
In this sparkling selection of his letters, edited by James Schiff, we can see Updike in real time, capturing every stage of his unspooling life, from Pennsylvania farm boy to Pulitzer prizewinner; and from young father negotiating his first book contract to the bestselling writer he became, following the international success of his novels Couples and the 'Rabbit 'sequence.
Here are letters to family, friends, editors and lovers, a remarkable outpouring over six decades - including, most movingly perhaps, the letters of his final year bidding farewell to children, colleagues and friends.
Taken together, these missives make a page-turning 'life in letters' like no other - an intimate testament to one of the greatest of all American writers.
'Nobody has a better understanding of the capriciousness of the human heart than John Updike' Daily Telegraph
'He was the ideal son of a platonic union between John Cheever and J.D. Salinger, with Nabokov attending the christening as fairy godfather' James Wood
'John Updike mapped our desires, our wishes, our wise and unwise dreams, our uncertainties, with such elegant precision and for so many years' The Times
