Book Overview

The stunning sequel to Rabbit, Run that resumes the spiritual quest of the anxious Everyman, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom.

"[Updike is] an awesomely accomplished writer. . . . For God's sake, read the book. It may even--will probably--change your life."--Anatole Broyard, The New York Times

"Amid the upheaval of the Trump years, [Rabbit Redux is] the postwar novel that strikes me as most prophetic."--Ron Chernow for Time, "25 Books That Capture This American Moment"

Ten years have passed; the impulsive former athlete has become a paunchy thirty-six-year-old conservative, and Eisenhower's becalmed America has become 1969's lurid turmoil of technology, fantasy, drugs, and violence. Rabbit is abandoned by his family, his home invaded by a runaway and a radical, his past reduced to a ruined inner landscape; still he clings to semblances of decency and responsibility, and yearns to belong and to believe.

Front Jacket

A triumph.
NEWSDAY
The assumptions and obsessions that control our daily lives are explored in tantalizing detail by master novelist John Updike in this wise, witty, and 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, Janice. How he resolves or further complicates his problems makes for a novel of the first order.
