The Cambridge Companion to John Updike (Cambridge Companions to Literature)
John Updike is one of the most prolific and important American authors working today, with an acclaimed body of work that spans half a century. This Companion charts how historical and cultural changes in the second half of the twentieth century have shaped not just Updike's reassessment of America's heritage, but his reassessment of the literary devices by which that legacy is best portrayed. With a chronology and bibliography of Updike's published writings, this is the only guide students and scholars of Updike will need to understand this extraordinary writer.
