Quintessential Updike....These tales are elegies for lost youth
and receding passions. 
    -- The New York Times 
    "If one trait can account for John Updike's
staying power. it is the man's exquisite grasp of ordinary
miracles....With his small mirages, his puddles left by both the
heroic and the damned, Updike can turn the simple, misguided
efforts of a man into a signature of song." 
    -- The Boston Globe 
    "Marvelously Moving...these tales evoke a
certain peace and a definite wonder at what an astonishingly
graceful writer Updike is." 
    -- USA Today 
    "John Updike has rarely written more
affectingly, more from the center of his being....This collection
is about the passing of generations, and the way that passing
leaves people marooned.... Reviewing a novel of Vladimir Nabokov in
1964, Mr. Updike said, 'He writes prose the only way it should be
written -- that is, ecstatically.' That ecstasy is evident on every
page of The Afterlife." 
    -- The New York Times Book Review 
    "These are first-rate stories, thoughtful and
wise." 
    -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer -- Review
