John Updike is one of the most prolific and important American
authors of the contemporary period, with an acclaimed body of work
that spans half a century and is inspired by everything from
American exceptionalism to American popular culture. This Companion
joins together a distinguished international team of contributors
to address both the major themes in Updike's writing as well as the
sources of controversy that Updike's writing has often provoked. It
traces the ways in which 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.
? The only student guide to Updike's work to span his entire
career ? A collection of specially commissioned essays aimed at
students as well as readers of Updike ? Includes discussion of the
cultural and historical background of Updike's fiction
